So pretty much the title. I recently got a 2023 corolla and loving it, but what I don’t understand is why it’s got wifi. I’ve driven a 2012 Yaris prior to this and that was pretty much a “dumb” car.

I have a recent Corolla with this feature and really like it. It may not be useful for you if your cell phone has unlimited data. But I’m on a pay as you go plan run through T-Mobile so it’s cheaper to pay for the car wifi than data. For $10 a month, I don’t have to worry about running up a big bill with streaming and GPS.
The wifi also runs through Verizon so it’s nice to have two different ways to call for help if you’re stranded between T-Mobile towers.
I expect these issues are mostly my own and it isn’t that useful for most. Honestly, I would bet that AT&T or Verizon is paying Toyota to put these into cars so they can sell data plans.
Au okay, that’s cool. I’m in Aus and have 180Gb of data per months so almost unlimited, so I’m probably not the target market for this feature. But that’s good to know anyway
