It turns out that the “Internet of Things” is full of automated snoops and spies. Data collection, now integrated into new car designs, is more pervasive than ever and is ushering in a brave new world of surveillance and corporate collusion.

Mine is a few years too old to do that. Once my car is no longer working I'll be putting around on my ebike instead

Your ebike is also spying, probably.

I don’t know man, sometimes I can barely hold a YouTube stream on my phone but the ads find a away to come through. lol car and insurance companies would probably go straight to satellite or something if they can resell the info for a dollar over cost.
