I am working in the auto industry in R&D. I can tell you that the big trendy thing, next to autonomous driving, is "Software Defined Vehicle". Essentially, how to lock-up feature via Software while all the necessary hardware is present and functional in the vehicle.
This isn't a good time to be dependent on a car. I am glad I leave in an area with top-notch public transports.
Is this like the BMW heated seats thing from a couple years ago?
Typically yes. Although SDV could also be use for more legitimate purpose, like tuning some parameters based on the country the vehicle is sold in (e.g: adapt Lane-assistance to the specific road markings of each country).
