How do we stop this?

Not my 20-year-old car.
Without regulation, this will continue, and get worse. Remember to vote in every election you can, both local, and national.
I really hope the Slate truck is everything they say it will be. Its lack of spyware is a pretty compelling reason to buy one.
I looked it up now, slate truck. Seems like a good idea. I never cared for infotainment at all.
I do, but only in the aspect of using Android auto/Apple carplay....
Anything else available from the infotainment system is usually just to facilitate that connection for me.
I already have everything on my phone, why do I also need it on my dash?
Same here. I wish Canada had a company making something similar since I’d rather not support the US economy. Choose your poison, I guess.
Mexico is making something similar. But it has max speed of like 50
Sus that it's another bezos company
Big Tech companies think they have solved advertising with infinite data. According to them, privacy can go fuck itself.
"Sharing" implies something much less predatory than the actual relationship.
Let me go bring a gun to a bank and see if they'd like to share any of their money with me.
My car is doing no such thing, but it's a manual that's old enough to vote.
I have a 2010 Mazda Pickup. It doesn't even share with me.
My bicycle does not
Good. now get yourself a faraday bag for your phone.
Countries are selling out their citizens to car companies in the name of "traffic safety"
This stuff is why I'm apprehensive of buying anything remotely new.
The problem is, I also don't want to burn prehistoric forests to travel.
So this sits in opposition to the fact that I want to travel around using the light from the sun as my primary energy source.
For those that can't read between the lines, I want an EV, that I can charge by solar.
I am also aware of the slate truck. I have thoughts on it, but it's worthy of consideration.
Had anyone published a guide on how to strip these sensors yet?
Yes there's a YouTube video for various disable techniques via fuses or jumper wire kits. Such as this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e09Kjj2awG0
Thanks, but that guy doesn't sound like he knows what he was talking about.
He literally admitted that he had to get "information" from grok, and he never fact checked it.
There was no attempt to find or disable cameras, microphones, seat pressure sensors, etc. Those cars he "disabled" are probably still collecting all of the data and storing it locally. Just waiting for a dealer to plug it in to upload everything.
We really need just one person with car hacking skills to document how to disable the sensors (and then do a forensic analysis to confirm the data is no longer being collected). Then we'll all have at least one privacy car.
It was an example, there are deeper dive videos also, and links to kits to buy that bypasses the units but tells the car things are still fine. Agreed we do nerd better hacking, but then Auto companies would sue
But I don't have a car.
well yes, it's why I have a Chinese car, they don't share my data with my government who are the ones that may want to hurt me.
What the fuck isn’t? Doesn’t even need to be connected to your WiFi. Devices can have cellular modems built into them now.
We are all shocked
b..b...bbut...but CHINESE CARS ARE EVIL and untrustable unlike cars from good countries which would never betray us! Ban Chinese cars!!!!!
No. MY car ain't sending shit. MY car is a 2004 Nissan which was built before all that BS started getting included in every facet of our lives.
