  Get back to us when your health insurance company kicks you off your plan because your car has been reporting that you’ve been going to the bar 4 nights a week.

  Or when your wife starts getting ads when connected to your home network for strippers and strip clubs because you parked the car near a strip club 1 time.

  Or when your car starts suspiciously routing you through weird routes on maps, that take you close to the local fast food joints because Taco Bell/KFC paid them advertising money.

  “But none of that happens right now!”

  That’s not the point. The point is, it could.

    You think Tim Apple doesn’t know how many times you jerk off or take a shit? Data privacy ended a decade ago.

      But for some reason you’d like to take it further. How odd.

      He does. And it hasn’t impacted me in the least bit. The worst thing that might have ever happened to me is my wife gets an ad for shit I’ve searched. So is certainly not without any downsides. But they are largely outweighed by the good for most people’s use case. Most people shouldn’t and don’t give a fuck about the data tech has on them. What they should be concerned about is the government having data and a sane legal process for obtaining that data.

      Cars with integrated tech are safer (assuming folks are going to cell phone either way, of course it would be better to actually ticket those folks but I digress) and improve the experience on a daily basis.

    Oh right, because that happened with your computer that’s already following you for the past 15 years. I’ve met hundreds of people losing health insurance from the secret apps installed on phones and computers.

    Y’all have to invent edge cases to make this stuff sound scary. Google has had the vast majority of everyone’s movement for the past 15 years. Every day, every meter.

    Sure there are downsides that people don’t like but the vast majority of users don’t care and aren’t highly impacted.

    The reality is folks want tech in their vehicles. They want it to integrate with their phones natively.

      You ever watch scifi stuff and its kinda far fetched? Its because they’re envioning a future that hasn’t happened yet. Its not an ‘edge case’ you just haven’t been affected by it yet.
