Just want to call out the obvious but all auto makers are doing this. Just 'cause the headline isn’t out there doesn’t mean they aren’t. They don’t have your best interest in mind. People are literally having to reverse engineer smart TVs of all things to get transparency on what these companies are actually doing. This is fucked up.
Yep. Rip out your telematics module and, if possible, replace it with something like OVMS.
I will get down voted for saying I don’t think all of these companies are doing it.
The smarter ones will know the reputation hit they will take by doing so results in this. So if it comes out they are one of the few not doing it, they land a heap of customers.
Not all businesses are run by idiots.

Each person will receive a nickel and a fart while the law firms get the bulk and the data gets used either way. Our systems are fucking stupid.
