Fisker bankruptcy hits major speed bump as fleet sale is now in question | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

The buyer, a New York-area leasing company called American Lease, says in a new filing that Fisker now believes there is no way to transfer the information connected to each SUV to a new server not owned by the bankrupt EV startup. Since American Lease needs that information to operate the vehicles after Fisker is dissolved, the leasing company has filed an emergency objection to the startup’s liquidation plan.

A link to the purchase database for the options (checked when the car is turned on), the car telemetry data live uploaded, maintenance data (checked on start) to show maintenance and recall info and OTA update check, security and authorisation systems for admins of the back end. They might even have a remote call in to allow them to disable the car if it's not paid. Is it needed.. from a corporate perspective absolutely.
