Your car may be logging how you drive and selling it to insurers, sometimes for pennies. What it costs you, how to opt out, and what Oregon just changed.

    Bro my car doesn’t even have cruise control or electric windows or electric locks or a automatic transmission. It has AC though. I’m going to drive this thing until they make it illegal because its not smart enough.

      Does it have satellite radio? If so it’s still being tracked

        Just the presence of satellite radio doesn’t mean you are being tracked, much like GPS, satellite radio is one way communication and your receiver is just that, a receiver (as oppose to a transmitter).

    My 2014 Ford Fusion is too busy wondering when I’m going to get XM Sirius radio finally.
