I think car privacy isn’t talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

    Then you’re lacking in imagination.

    Similar data have outed people’s pregnancies, relationships and locations, which has been used to let people be stalked and even murdered.

    Car data can be sold and amalgamated to create a very precise profile of you, available to be purchased by anyone. Anyone with about $100 can purchase access to your daily/weekly schedule, including physical locations, and can easily steal your identity, if not rob or murder you.

    Also, foreign propaganda can similarly profile you and hyper target influence campaigns.
