automotive data trackingTutanota
•58% Informative
Auto manufacturers are cashing in on this unfortunate state of affairs and have positioned themselves as some of the biggest and most invasive data collectors.
There are a variety of ways in which your car can track information about you.
Companies like VW , BMW , Ford , Nissan , Toyota and newcomers like Tesla, Nio and BYD are voraciously collecting as much data as possible about you and selling it to data brokers.
MyVW works similar to the Tesla app by offering remote access controls to your vehicle.
Just like Tesla much of this information is later sold to third -party groups for ads.
Older vehicles are still available which can be driven without requiring app connectivity or built-in tracking.
Our best bet is pushing our representatives for strong legislation to protect drivers.
