I would say even those don't need Internet. Navigation can be updated using a USB drive, and I have a phone for audio so I just need bluetooth.

The only network connection I want in my car is to notify emergency services if the airbags go off.

Things like live traffic require a connection though, and Google maps I think does the routing calcs off the device. Most people will use their phone for all that, but the use case is there.
