But there is no requirement to send that data anywhere
Automakers collect and store all data by default. If there's no law saying they CAN'T collect it then they're gonna collect it.
Data is a valuable commodity. I think one car company filed a patent not long ago for a system that listens to conversations in the car and then serves advertisements on the central console based on those.
Why wouldn't they?
Money mostly. I hear companies like making money.
To follow drivers jerking off to gay porn. The biggest fear of America.
I recently watched a few videos about people taking the modems/WiFi boxes out of their new cars to stop the constant data collection.
On one of the videos there's a warning that if you attach your phone to your car then the car will almost certainly start to contact through the BT to 'phone home' again to send data that way.
I've got no idea if any of it is all true, but with today's data collection companies mining everything they can then I can easily believe it.
And without consent is against EU law with a €20M fine.
You'll just sign the consent by getting in the car. They already do that for the microphones.
Will it hold up in court? We'll only know once someone sues.
