A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't know, I haven't purchase a new car. But on the other hand if thry aren't privacy concious to start with then their phone is selling all their data anyway, so not sure why they are shocked by the car selling it too.

Lol. yep. USA and Canada have google and apple tracking everything (even apples No Track option was found to do nothing at all).
