Your car is spying on you.
That is one takeaway from the fast, detailed data that Tesla collected on the driver of one of its Cybertrucks that exploded in Las Vegas earlier this week. Privacy data experts say the deep dive by Elon Musk’s company was impressive, but also shines a spotlight on a difficult question as vehicles become less like cars and more like computers on wheels.
“You might want law enforcement to have the data to crack down on criminals, but can anyone have access to it?” said Jodi Daniels, CEO of privacy consulting firm Red Clover Advisors. “Where is the line?”
Many of the latest cars not only know where you’ve been and where you are going, but also often have access to your contacts, your call logs, your texts and other sensitive information thanks to cell phone syncing.
It’s sad how these so-called journalists act as if this is the first discovery of the topic. Like yo, it’s been talked all over last year with pretty much every car company spying on your shit and insurance companies already using that info to raise their prices.
I mean how far deep your own arses were your heads lodged to not notice this up until now?
Ffs, this sort of incompetence is astounding from an industry that’s supposed to be the source of news.
This is slowpoke level meme material.
