And almost all cars in the US have telecommunication infrastructure already to track what you’re saying. Can someone from the US just buy a car from overseas, if they need one, that doesn’t have tracking?
In Canada, we’re allowing the first wave of ~50K Chinese EVs into our market this year, and all you hear is panic about whether we can trust a company beholden to the Chinese government. It’s all just so hypocritical… we’re fine with sharing our most intimate thoughts with western social media, smart phones and cars, but as soon as it’s another country, we should be terrified. Hate none of it or hate all of it.
From western companies, that’s projection at its best.
Chinese EV makers are aware of the defiance and could go easy on the data collection.
But what I really hope is to see disconnected EVs! I enjoyed advanced infotainment, but I’m growingly frustrated with the idea my car spies on me more than my phone, and even more since I switched to Graphene OS.
And it looks like what Slate is about to offer (learnt about their existence in this thread!).

I mean, what car would that be? I saw a report last year, all 25 manufacturers they looked at were doing this shit. It’s not a US only problem.
