[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3326834, member: 23"] The technology is there. You can be tracked through your phone. There are YouTube articles that show you how to access your location activity. It also shows how to turn it off. I don’t know when they started installing them, but vehicles have “black boxes” that store information. I learned that in 2007 when I was talking to an officer about a fatality accident. He said they had pulled the box and had to download the information at the office. It could tell location, speed and other features before impact. I predict hacking a car is coming too. Think about it. If Onstar can unlock your doors and shut down your OnStar equipped car from a location several states away, how long before a hacker can take over? I have Onstar on my truck and the only feature I signed up for is Onstar will be activated if I’m in a crash and provide a location in case I can’t call for help. Your home WiFi can track your browsing history and it won’t be long before you see things you’ve been looking at show up in ads or spam. If I look at something on eBay or Amazon, then switch over to FB, guess what ads start showing up. [/QUOTE]
