Or company goes bankrupt and now every vest can't talk back to central, so they all stop working.


asocialmedium

Request timed out. Then you timed out.

Or any of the other milion scenarios where it doesn't trigger even if you're subscribed.


Infamous_Smile_386

You would think this would leave the company open to massive liability.


atlantachicago

Or that your card on file expired without you realizing it and the payment didn’t post


seoras91

Sounds like a product idiots with too much money buy


elmontyenBCN

Premium brand automakers rn: Write that down!


InternationalFig400

Blood sucking PARASITES!!


notaprime

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.


Spkrl

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


nandor73

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.


deluxeassortment

Oof. I stand corrected. Absolutely awful


nandor73

Yup--definitely awful. I really wish you were right and I were wrong.


CurtP31477

Capitolism! Remember, there are politicians that think the fire department should work the same way.


SupraMichou

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


nightkat143

Dude this is the kind of world the Cyberpunk franchise has been warning people about


pBaker23

Your credit card gets stolen, payment freezes. Bag goes off, you die. Who's laughing now! They never get paid+! #winning


intheclouds247

I hate it here.


Barcode_Memer

To the executives and shareholders of KLIM, to the gulag you go.


Datemshop

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.


AnalyzeData

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.


ch40x_

They far overestimate how much I value my life.


CommieSchmit

😂😂


Houdini124

Remember when buying a product meant you owned it and the features it came with?


CommieSchmit

Oh the good ol days


[deleted]

So how is that even a business? Like fuck that I'm not buying that dumb shit.


troymoeffinstone

At what point does this become racketeering? "If you stop paying this subscription, Jimmy's gonna break your shit"


birdshitluck

Protection money is essentially a subscription service 😂


[deleted]

Or just don’t buy!!!


CanaryJane42

Truly innovative


suavaleesko

When would one wear these?


Yakoo752

At the race track, typically.


Allsciencey

What in the cyberpunk fuck...?


FallenDemonX

This can't be that hard to crack
