I noticed the Amazon outage, apparently many of the websites I look at are
Amazon hosted.
It *shouldn't* affect a raspberry pi in your car since you wouldn't be likely
streaming stuff from the cloud to do it.
We have an idea at work that people will pay us to host their media "in the
cloud" so they don't have to own any storage on-site. I expect the actual way
we'll do it is to rent cloud space from Amazon. I can't imagine being one of
our customers in this kind of condition "Oh yeah, Amazon is down so you can't
work..."

That led to
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/01/aws_s3_outage/
which said, among other things,
Tuesday's Amazon Web Services mega-outage knocked offline not only
websites big and small, by yanking away their backend storage,
but also knackered apps and Internet of Things gadgets relying on
the technology.
In fact, the five-hour breakdown was so bad, Amazon couldn't even
update its own AWS status dashboard: its red warning icons were
stranded, hosted on the broken-down side of the cloud.
...
Other IoT devices were also impacted and caused some rather
surreal scenarios for their owners. We're told that
cloud-connected lightbulbs, thermostats, and similar gear,
stopped working properly as their backends fell over.
