There is no way to know what a buyer will want to do with the reams of genetic information it has collected. Customers, meanwhile, still have no way to change their underlying genetic data.
Yup. Go ahead and try turning that cell phone radio thing off. Why do you need an app for remote start? Why can’t it be on the keyfob anymore? But again, nothing to see here - just the continued enshittification of everything.
Yes, unfortunately. I dunno if it’s a global thing or just in the US, but several years ago, they started sending your car’s computer data to insurance companies, who then use it to determine how well you drive and what insurance rates they want to give you.
But according to the legalese of some manufacfurers, just being inside the car is a form of you giving consent.
You would have to disable all radios and receivers, GPS, never take your car for maintenance and never connect your car’s systems to anything and never connect your phone or peripherals to it. As your phone will send car data to the manufacturers. Disable or break all cameras. And this is assuming they even respect you opting out. Apparently, most people are so unaware of the data collecting being such a huge thing that some manufacturers do not even really disable what you tell them to disable, or by using the car or an option in the car, you give them permission to enable them again. LOL
Point is that you can’t or most people won’t do any of these things and car makers won’t stop until maybe they get sued.
Because of the “driving behavior” data that gets sent out via secret cell connections and bought by insurance companies?

I just pulled the fuse. Problem solved. Phone start doesn’t work but never used it.
Safest thing that would actually work is to take out the battery. ;-)
Not on electric cars. LOL
What! What cars have this???

It’s really scummy.
Here is at least one of those reports the other poster touched on

All cars for awhile. Mozilla released a privacy report a year or two ago and it seems nobody cared. Which is why they can do this stuff.
Yup.

Wonder if the ones without apps do it.
Just disconnect the modem problem solved.
Not sure if it is a joke.
