alt Hacker NewsJust to be clear to anyone reading - those SIMs have one purpose only - to automatically call emergency services if you crash.

It’s naive to think that this is a) the only current use
Almost everything ever introduced with good intentions gets perverted into something else
Traffic cameras, facial recognition, phone GPS, social media - all can and are used against you in one way shape or form
I’m not saying we shouldn’t have any of those things - I’m saying just open your eyes because e sims are no different

For now...?
Do they need a SIM to do an eCall? I'd think not because after all it is a semi-regular emergency call.
So if the car has a SIM it probably could be removed to neutralize it without interfering with the eCall. But eSIMs might be a different problem...
