    Your logic holds true as long as that data stays in the car. Pretty sure this ruling allows them to slurp that data up and use it however they want.

      They would do that? Just copy all our data and use it for their own interests?

      I’m shocked, shocked I say!

        @xkforce @plz1 although I agree with what your saying, it shouldn’t be a concern.

        It is a concern but shouldn’t. If car makers followed a fair privacy stance, would we use more of those features? My guess is …yeah?

        Privacy brings more customers so in turn its a solid business move! Is it a profitable one? That’s the one I wanna answer!
