They have to continually update the base map that Level 4 needs to work.   It is one thing for your navigation to tell you to “turn right” on a road that isn’t there anymore or not know about a new road.   It is something entirely different for the car try to navigate you from point A to B with an outdated map.

True but then there is no reason to make that trade today.

A have a 2004 Astro. They got a lot better in 2000 (going from 1 start to 3/4 star) but the vans from the 80's and 90's were horrible.

Yes, you are missing something.

If you go to their website it clearly says that the app is not required to use the vest.

The promise of Continuous Optimization is the 2nd item on In Motion’s membership page. It is available either with the yearly or monthly lease or the purchase option. They have done 10 updates to date

If you pay for the lifetime subscription the vest never needs to check and verify your subscription status. After the original activation you never need to connect it to the app or internet again.

A subscription isn’t required. The subscriptions are an option for people that want to pay $400 up front instead of the full $800 price.

If you pay $800 up front you activate the vest and you are done. If you pick the yearly plan you only have to verify your subscription once a year. If you pick the monthly plan you have to verify once a month. Both subscription plans have a 30 day grace period
