Choice magazine has gone through the fine print and discovered who tracks what about you when you are driving or interfacing with the car, with 10 popular brands:
https://www.choice.com.au/consumers-...king-your-data ABC's got a write up of it, so it made mainstream news today: https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/...ties/104440742 Have to read more after work... did find this quote which may offer solutions for drivers who don't want this to happen: "The free online resource Privacy4Cars amassed step-by-step delete instructions for tens of thousands of vehicles, whose settings often differ by model, make, year and optional extras." As for the practice, total reknaw behaviour.

No such thing as privacy in this world, big corporations know more about you, than what you know about yourself.
Shameless tactics being used against you. Well at least I'm off the hook owning a new Suburu. |

We are already at the point where everything we do will be logged, there will be nothing that they will not know about us, just have to think about it and you can see who is exactly linked to the information you freely let out each day, like talk about a specific item near your phone and it shows up on your next browse, you make a transaction at Coles using your card and fly buys, they know your spending habits and those items will be marketed to you, the amount of corporations that are connected to the loyalty cards alone are already harvesting your data, there is no getting away from it now, its here, having the car doing it now is just the next evolution.
I know this sounds like conspiracy theory stuff, but its already here and it is real, its detailed in our everyday life from what programs we watch on tv, what websites we frequent, what petrol station we use, what route we take to work (GPS) what we buy food wise, what we spend on alcohol, the list is endless already, its only the ones that have been burying their heads in the sand that will be the ones that are surprised. |

We already got drum brakes on the most popular selling vehicles in Australia, so we love regression, we can start using cash again to pay for things and drive dumb vehicles around everywhere, bring back the three knobs for HVAC controls, an AC button, a slider for recirculated air and an ECU with 60 wires

It doesn’t help the push for privacy when so many people openly declare so much on social media.
We already know that most members are tracked on the bigger sites and that data sold to companies that on sell to marketing people to pitch to their clients. |
