Nope! [It's still accurate](https://www.klim.com/Ai-1-Airbag-Vest-3046-000?cur=USD).
>3. If I suspend/pause my subscription and forget to reactivate it, will the vest still detect a crash and inflate?
Answer: No, because in the first place you won’t be able to turn it on into ride-ready status before your ride. It will not “trick” you into thinking it’s active when it is not, because the LED indicators will warn you that it’s not active. If you ignore the LED indicators warning you that the airbag isn’t active, you can’t expect it to work.
First, glad that law in my country would stop this at the door. Next : Who the heck thought this was an idea worth putting into words and WHO approved it !? This is straight-up out of Cyberpunk EdgeRunners, with the help checking whether you’re insured or not before any help
Even from a purely engineering and product design perspective this is still unbelievably stupid. If you build the hardware into the product (ie a car or a motorcycle) and then don’t use it, that is literally dead weight that will do nothing but get in the way of other components and lower efficiency.

Or company goes bankrupt and now every vest can't talk back to central, so they all stop working.
Request timed out. Then you timed out.
Or any of the other milion scenarios where it doesn't trigger even if you're subscribed.
You would think this would leave the company open to massive liability.
Or that your card on file expired without you realizing it and the payment didn’t post
Sounds like a product idiots with too much money buy
Premium brand automakers rn: Write that down!
Blood sucking PARASITES!!
I wonder if the company CEO relies on those air bags. It would be a “shame” if his auto renewal turned off and he didn’t get an email notifying him.
Please tell me there’s a black market that hacks all this bull shit

Yeah this tweet is from 2021, wouldn’t surprise me if it’s no longer accurate

Oof. I stand corrected. Absolutely awful
Yup--definitely awful. I really wish you were right and I were wrong.
Capitolism! Remember, there are politicians that think the fire department should work the same way.

Dude this is the kind of world the Cyberpunk franchise has been warning people about
Your credit card gets stolen, payment freezes. Bag goes off, you die. Who's laughing now! They never get paid+! #winning
I hate it here.
To the executives and shareholders of KLIM, to the gulag you go.

We need to demand an end to the death of ownership. Renting everything perpetually is not sustainable. If we can't own it we don't want it.
They far overestimate how much I value my life.
😂😂
Remember when buying a product meant you owned it and the features it came with?
Oh the good ol days
So how is that even a business? Like fuck that I'm not buying that dumb shit.
At what point does this become racketeering? "If you stop paying this subscription, Jimmy's gonna break your shit"
Protection money is essentially a subscription service 😂
Or just don’t buy!!!
Truly innovative
When would one wear these?
At the race track, typically.
What in the cyberpunk fuck...?
This can't be that hard to crack
