It would only be "Planned Obsolescence" if the user was forced to install an iOS Upgrade. But they aren't; so it isn't.
App developers can be pretty quick to drop support for older versions of iOS. So while you are correct, you'll eventually have to bite the bullet and upgrade once you're not able to get any more apps. At least that was my experience. I held off upgrading until I wiped the phone to trade it for a non-Apple phone. When I flashed to the latest version of iOS before the trade-in, the phone became so laggy that it was nearly unusable. And that was with no apps installed as I had wiped it clean of apps and data.
So stop quibbling and use modern software.
Running this version of Chrome requires that I install a new OS which means that I need to back up all of my application settings spread out across the entire system, install the new OS, and then try to put all of the pieces together again. And that's if the new OS supports my old hardware. So it's not as easy as you make it out to be unless you're willing to pay for my new hardware.
NHTSA believes that V2V capability will not develop absent regulation, because there would not be any immediate safety benefits for consumers who are early adopters of V2V
The point is that given the current situation, there won't be any standard because there is no motivation for car manufacturers to develop such a system since there would initially be so few cars that could communicate with each other in the first place. Even if you got past that barrier, it would require the independent cooperation of competing car companies to implement in order to build a feasible system. Worse yet, if you did manage to get companies to voluntarily cooperate, their cooperation could easily turn to collusion as they could lock out smaller car manufacturers from participating in the creation of the standard or they could develop a closed standard altogether.
No, this is the precise situation that government should be getting involved in. The current situation has little to no financial incentive to motivate the private sector to implement, so making it mandatory and letting them participate heavily in the creation of the standard is the next best option.
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
