I don't know if it matters.
In some tribes, there is not much left to the imagination as it is.

The 50 year lifespan jumped out at me as being too low and I was correct:

What was the average lifespan for an American male born in 1950?

About 65.6 years.

That’s the period life expectancy at birth for U.S. males in 1950 (CDC/NCHS historical life tables). For context, females were about 71.1 years and the total population about 68.2 years. Note this is a period estimate using 1950 mortality rates; the actual average age at death for the 1950 male birth cohort will be higher due to later medical and public‑health improvements and isn’t fully known yet.
Edit:
Oh wait, you said GLOBAL.

You ruined my day am 74.

Totally different thing.

Truck talks to Ford servers thru ATT network via modem.
Servers talk to FordPass.
Your remote truck stats and control goes back thru that.

End of drive park also uploads some data - tire pressure, mileage, fuel tank, trouble codes, ect.
Also pulls down OTA updates if enabled by you.

So there's a modem sitting with access to ATT cell network - not really used much.
And there's a wifi connection in truck for your phone anyway.

So why not sell you access to ATT for extra things like navigation and map updates that doesn't require your phone, and provide a hotspot for your phone to connect to via wifi, and kids tablets for backseat movies.

But if your phone always has signal, perhaps better network where you live, and you connect it for navigation anyway, and no kids tablets, or your phone could do hotspot for them - then you may have no need for Ford's service.

It’s interesting how offering a small bonus can sometimes get a client to start using your product. Personally, when I play games, I use https://online-casinosbe.com/fr/sans-depot/20-euros-sans-depot/ because they offer a bonus that makes it easy to get started. It would be cool if Ford did something similar!

So their free year to entice you didn't work.
Or maybe it did.

That makes sense. Ford is monetizing hardware already in the truck, but for many owners, their phone does everything needed!
