How to Keep Your Car From Spying
Your car is more than just a means of transportation; it’s a data-collection device. Many modern vehicles and their associated phone apps come equipped with a host of features, from digital maps and GPS navigation to remote starting and vehicle locators. They often include microphones for voice control, and some even feature cameras that monitor the driver to adjust settings like seat position.
These features, while convenient, also collect vast amounts of data about your driving habits and personal information. This data can include where you go, how fast you drive, and when you travel. Privacy advocates suggest that consumers should be aware of these data collection practices and take steps to protect their personal information. If you are concerned about these issues, it is essential to understand what your car can track and what you can to do minimize data collection.
