This feature is available on all SPA- cars from MY16. We have been using this for years now in Sweden and it works really well. If the software is not already available in your car (check if you have the "Connected Safety" icon in the first Sensus screen):

*You will get the software during the annual service

*If you are in a hurry you need to pay a fee for using space and technician at your local dealer. Then they will install the software

*No need of any HW upgrades. Only internet connection.

I suspect the system is using GSM for data exchange with the cloud. So no in-car SIM (VOC) - no Connected Safety either. And due to my profession-induced phobia of "internet of things" (someone quoted the Terminator earlier.. ) I specifically optioned my car without VOC. No robot is taking my clothes, my boots, or my motorcycle.

It's the future and the machines will take over. Are you ready for that? Governments are all for it, including autonomous vehicles, which will not be autonomous at all because they will be 'connected' and this able to be remotely controlled for good or evil. It's all about power and control which they will probably justify on 'safety' and 'security' grounds.
you said it all.
