Are connected cars only as good as your cellular network?

Are connected cars only as good as your cellular network?
While innovation into connected cars has driven a frenzy of development, these connections are only as good as the network it is running on.

With connected car solutions proliferating across the market, many of these solutions either pair with your mobile phone, or have their own connectivity. In both cases, these are still locked into a single carrier. As a result, the solutions become ineffective when out of range of the carrier’s network.

Opensignal has surveyed the US top carriers and found that every single one was below 87% national coverage, with one falling as low as 70%. The same survey also suggests that the carriers seem to be more focused on download speeds instead of coverage.
