Mozilla’s latest edition of *Privacy Not Included reveals how 25 major car brands collect and share deeply personal data, including sexual activity, facial expressions, and genetic and health information.
Hmm, but I did not agree to those privacy policies nor was I provided with a copy.
This seems like potential grounds for a lawsuit. Anyone have an idea how to demonstrate harm?
I'm pretty sure the EU GDPR requires explicit & clear consent for data collection.
That's up to a £17.5m fine or 4% of your annual turnover, whichever is higher
this makes me love my bike even more
Does anyone know of a resource for figuring out where the SIM cards are in all these modern cars? You really can have all the privacy you want if you remove the ability of these spywheels to call home.
Sorry to say but I bet they are eSim
With phones, doorbells, TVs, cars, and more all recording constantly, will there be any space left that offers actual privacy?
Back to Cave
Can't they just make dumb EVs for now? I mean we don't have to go all out Starks Enterprises with every EV to attract customers. I still need buttons and things i can feel while driving.
Not related to EVs at all. Every new, feature rich car, is like this.
Camera systems for semi-autonomous driving, blind spot warnings, and parking assist. Always on cellular connections for maps, navigation, and roadside assistance. The tech has been in most cars for a decade or more. It's the last 5ish years the manufactures realized they could collect all the data and have another revenue stream.The problem is tech is cheap, especially software. Even moreso when the data you gain is so valuable.
Yikes...
Well, this finally gives a reason to be grateful that my vehicle is a very old hand-me-down
Confirms my bias to not buy newer cars than the early 2010s. My last new car was a 2011. It is just right with OEM Bluetooth hands free but navigation etc is handled by the phone. The controls are still knobs and buttons. Not a screen in sight
What do they mean by "genetic information"?
Hey NAL but that is not legal.
My privacy policy of charging 100mill per bit of data collected is valid if it was.
Researchers found data is being gathered by sensors, microphones, cameras, and the phones and devices drivers connect to their cars, as well as by car apps, company websites, dealerships, and vehicle telematics. Brands can then share or sell this data to third parties. Car brands can also take much of this data and use it to develop inferences about a driver’s intelligence, abilities, characteristics, preferences, and more.
What the actual crispy-fried fuck is this? Drivers intelligence? Sexual activity?!?
Sounds like any iPhone or Android with Google out there.
