> making sure that the cars work when out of reception is a “mission-critical success factor” for the company

I guess mission failed then...

It is so easy to call something mission-critical. I am always tempted to ignore it when I hear it, because most of the time it is a red herring. Instead I use it as a launching off point for a conversation with clients about priorities for a given solution.

If the car has a big yellow sticker on the dash saying, "if you drive this vehicle to a location without cellular coverage, you may become stranded", would you rent it?

Sure would. Not for every trip, though.
