Let’s be 100% clear, all of these cars with “smart” features are collecting your data and selling it. Insurance companies are also buying this information and using it to raise premiums if they determine you a “bad driver.” Also this could reveal info such as where you live if anyone is determined enought depending on the info if stores (such as geolocation data).
Basically I’m saying wrap your car in tinfoil
I live in a small, rural community. The county sheriff’s department just announced how they bought the GPS tracking data for every vehicle in the county and how it’s going to “help calm traffic because they can predict where people are going to be speeding and can have an officer waiting”
The pre-crime department is starting and no one batted an eye.
A Volkswagen id4 was the best choice I had from work (Belgian companies give company cars for personal use as perks because of tax benefits).
I completely disagreed to all terms involving internet access in the vehicle, but I have no doubt they are tracking me without my consent too…
