The buyer, a New York-area leasing company called American Lease, says in a new filing that Fisker now believes there is no way to transfer the information connected to each SUV to a new server not owned by the bankrupt EV startup. Since American Lease needs that information to operate the vehicles after Fisker is dissolved, the leasing company has filed an emergency objection to the startup’s liquidation plan.
There is absolutely a way. It might be hard, but there is a way.
I was thinking the same thing, but the article doesn’t go into any detail. So the information is on a Fisker server and associated with each vehicle? If so, moving it to another server seems like basic data managment.
Not an expert, but the only thing I can imagine is that it’s related to certificates or keypairs used for encrypted communication / authentication. Afaik ssl certificates can be issued to a given company, for example, and might become invalid when that company no longer exists. Or it becomes impossible to issue new ones.
Something in that vein, maybe.
