I received the same survey and answered NO to all options. Subscriptions work for some things but I think it is particularly unsuitable for these. If my car is equipped for driving assistant or parking assistant then I would expect these to work without a subscription model.
What particularly bothers me is that this sort of technology gets out-of-date really fast. In 3 or 4 years time I do not want to be paying for 4 year old technology. And a subscription model is really bad for people that do not lease and keep the car for say 6 years.
Subscriptions work if it buys you regular updates. So, e.g. might work for navigation or even CarPlay where updates can be pushed down to your car. But I don't see driving or parking assistants to be easily kept up-to-date with software downloads as future improvements are likely going to require new hardware... e.g. improved sensor technology.
Bottom line, bad idea BMW.
