I don’t want the car reporting to insurance hard breaks and such. But frankly I just find these things creepy and I just want a base model car.

    The problem is that if you actually have a fun spirited drive suddenly your insurance doubles because your car is selling your “hard acceleration and cornering” data to insurance companies.

    This is exactly the reason why I want privacy in the first place. The surveillance tech kills all the joy and freedom of driving.

      Well, this should be blocked legally, not on a technical level. With GDPR they can’t do this shit unless you consent. Most people consent because reading is apparently hard, but you at least get a choice.
