  I do love the digital age and modern tech, but I understand many of the privacy concerns.

    I mean there are some things that just shouldn’t be adapted into the digital world. I wouldn’t say cars are one of them, but many features most likely aren’t even being used in said vehicle by the owner.

  Yes. I live in a cold climate. I can start my car with my phone and it’s defrosted and heated before I drive. It’s awesome. And then I get exact directions that re-route me based on traffic conditions. The efficiency gains are incredible. I love technology.

    I understand your point, but they could also just make it more privacy friendly to the consumer. We don’t want to feel like we’re being used against our will even if we “agreed” to the terms of service.
