Anyone who continuously claims, "I don't do anything wrong and couldn't care less what companies track,” is not only fostering a very dangerous mindset but is also completely missing the point.
-
The idea that you can’t opt out of the car data collection makes this idea despicable especially with the cost of the car.
-
Surveillance in the name of safety. Every time governments & big corporations tells you, they are doing something for safety, it turns into Surveillance.
-
a world where criminals are more interested in taking your data than stealing your car is one you should be very scared of.
-
I'm sick and tired of the canned corporate response of "We take customer privacy very seriously" when it's patently false and there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
-
People in the US are worried about a surveillance state, but don't realize that it's been privatized for years now.
-
Its called a class action lawsuit big enough to bankrupt every damn one of them.
-
I'm sick of data collecting in EVERYTHING. If I opt out I can't play the game, If I don't want to use a service I can't access the Play Store for apps etc. At this point I think I want to go Medieval... as In minimum or no technology.
-
If the cars are being spied wherever it goes, that means they should be able to trace where your car is if its being stolen!
-
So we are ‘paying’ $60k for selling our own data? That’s wild
-
What I'm frustrated about is that with all these cameras, none of them are owner accessible. Meaning we have to buy a separate dashcam to protect ourselves from insurance scammers and other problems.
-
Safety concerns are exactly one of the ways many of your freedoms are allowed to be by passed or deleted.
-
With modern car being so high-tech it should be classified in the same category as smartphone in the judicial system
-
Our automobiles are not ours anymore, cars are now unsecured computers on wheels.
-
Consumers must have an option to opt out entirely! This is so wrong...cameras and microphones watching and listening to your personal and sometimes intimate conversations and actions. This BS must stop now!
-
I bought a newer used Nissan. The previous owners address was still in the GPS unit. Out of curiosity and boredom , I followed it there. And again out of curiosity used the garage door opener and IT WORKED. I closed the door and left kinda freaked out lol.
-
Once the purchase is complete, the manufacture need to gtf out of my life. We need dumb vehicles.
-
You missed the part when hackers can turn off your engine or accelerate
-
When they say “We never sell your personal data”, it doesn’t mean they won’t buy it from others, aggregate it with other data they’ve purchased about you, build a data lake containing your profile, and then share it in exchange for additional data about others.
-
This is disgusting. This needs to stop. We have a right to privacy
