Modern Cars Are Spying On You
have had enough: to be tired of something and not willing to accept it anymore
Did you know your car might be spying on you? Mozilla studied 25 big car brands, including Nissan, Ford, and Toyota, and they all failed at keeping data private.
Modern cars are gathering information about where you go, how fast you drive, and how fast you brake using sensors, cameras, and car-connected phone apps. They are selling this info to data brokers and even law enforcement. It’s not just driving habits, either. Some car brands are collecting private data on your health, race, and even sexual activity. It’s hard to know how they get this information, especially the very personal details. One of the worst offenders is Nissan. They collect a wide range of data, but they don’t say how.
This data collection is worth a lot of money. By 2030, it could be a $750 billion industry. One Cadilac owner has had enough. He is planning to sue the car company after learning his private data was sold to car insurance companies. The consequences of this data collection are serious. In addition to insurance companies using this info to raise prices, there have already been multiple data breaches, putting consumers at risk.
