Well… fuck. More reason to not buy newer cars. At least you Americans are lucky. You can drive a dinosaur if it met with regulations. You technically don’t have to buy new cars… ever.
The scary thing? Define “new”. This judgment is from a lawsuit in 2014. So any car made in at least the last 9 years is doing this. Maybe newer cars are doing even worse things.
Yep.
I mean ok but the fact that your car is spying on you has to break a thousand big tech nda’s
Just gotta get someone to hack their system. Then it’ll be easy to prove damages
I recently found a video talkkng about privacy. One of the topic was that privacy does not ring any bell in people’s mind. Contrary to intimacy. Maybe we should all replace privacy by intimacy so we can tell what is really implied to non software people
Good point. Messages sent, images taken, and ‘things happen’ in cars.
Setting aside questions of legality, it seems kind of like it wouldn’t encourage someone to purchase their cars.
Thank goodness for Signal
America sucks. Seriously. I’m just waiting for another country to bring it to the USA, because it seems inevitable.
People gotta stop putting faith into these ultimately crooked nations.
Will it be another country though? Seems like the power has shifted and is continuing to shift from the nation state.
It can’t be illegal because you agree to allow them when you purchase the new vehicle. It’s all there in the T&C and PP, which no one ever reads. Don’t like it? Don’t buy new cars. I won’t.
Illegal terms in T&C are still illegal regardless of whether you agreed to them or not in the US.
Wait, how are CARS intercepting mobile activities?
When you connect to Bluetooth, it asks your phone to share call, contact and SMS information.
Think like the old horrible headunit text implementation, the ability to scan your contact list from the car, and see your recent calls.
Mozilla tested a bunch. Try a search on the platform and see.
