Satellite calling! New car feature you didn’t know you needed

AI-generated image. Anyone who has driven on long stretches of highways knows this feeling. You are cruising smoothly and suddenly the mobile network disappears. No signal. No data. No way to call for help. This is common on hill roads, remote stretches, parts of Ladakh or even certain expressways where coverage drops without warning.
