What does my car/truck know about me???

And meanwhile, the Chinese have your ssn, bank acct info, know whether or not you’re circumcised etc etc.
who cares?

My 94 Silverado ain't saying @&ð% behind my back.

Are you having to go through your Google account?

No. More than likely through 4G antennas or through the Ford Pass app, or downloaded if you take your car to the dealership. That OBD II can send and receive a lot of data.

I hate the AI. I have a '24 Silverado. I will search a location on my phone when I am out of my truck and when I get in my truck it will pop up on the map. STOP CREEPING ON ME! In addition, there is a third party that records hard stops and starts and they report the data to insurance companies.

All State keeps pushing 'Drive Wise' for a discount on premiums. Seems silly to give an insurance company
information that can and will be used against you.

My daily drivers have traditionally been under 4-5 years old. Wasn’t unusual for them to be a couple years or newer.

I keep 1-3 old beaters around for backup or movie/tv show cars that even if they had tracking it ain’t working.

If I was gonna rob a bank or something else stupid it would be in one of the old crappers.

The newer cars are collecting almost as much info on us as our cell phones do.

On a side note. I think I shared this a while back.

I sat on a couple Murder 1 juries recently. In one of them they were able to get a warrant and collect the gps data on the killers cellphone.

Fun part.

They match his entire trip from western Oklahoma to here and connected to Ring doorbell's video perfectly as he traveled.

No expectations of privacy.

All made possible by his cell phone. And the remnants of 'On-Star' likely. On Star is still out there and
pumped up by Gov. funding. The Gov. made it too big an investment in it to let it fail.
They need everyone on earth to have a cell phone. I do a goggle street view of places in the Congo and many have cell phones. But no shoes.

@Waltercat When did OnStat start?

... The data collection makes me feel like I'm 16 and my Dad in the backseat while I'm on a date...

Better than her dad.
