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 drove one of these recently as a rental, and told my partner that they were tracking our every move to send to our insurance company. Didn't believe me, so thank you for this article! I'll always feel like I'm being watched and recorded in new cars. I don't even like having personal conversations in them for fear of a potential active mic somewhere...
