Car Data Privacy

this would be great for cars too, i don't want a vehicle selling my data, or even collecting it in the first place

Sounds great. Has privacy of driving data become an option yet, and is it observed?

Take the steering wheel out. Most modern cars are already networked and are capable of tracking your every movement and recording anything that happens inside and in the vicinity of the car. Not all of them do that, and not all of them preserve and forward this information, as of yet, but this is clearly a thing that will happen. Insurance companies already propose discounts for people that allow them to track their "driving habits", how long before it flips and you'd end up force

Crappy click-bait report again... Original post is way better: https://www.apnews.com/4a749a4211904784826b45e812cff4caI'm surprised about the fact that cars are collecting real-time location data at all. Am I being tracked in US too? I don't remember I read any privacy policy when I bought my car.

The state already tracks users across cars. Not sure what data you think you're protecting.

Because it potentially contains private information, telemetry data from cars doesn't have to.

Well, someone who doesn't want to reveal his/her driving habits to Google, NSA et al?

Wouldn't this be illegal under GDPR? A license plate number can be linked to the owner and therefore can be a PII, as well as car serial number or other identifier.Also, this shows that no matter if you pay for the product or not, you become the product for squeezing the data anyway.Also, this could be a national security issue everywhere except US if US government would be able to track the cars all around the world. For example, what if they will track the cars used by defence indus

they need to do this with cars too. Tesla and VW are collecting massive amounts of data. Should be opt-in

Soon cars will be reporting their location to the manufacturers without consent
