It turns out that the “Internet of Things” is full of automated snoops and spies. Data collection, now integrated into new car designs, is more pervasive than ever and is ushering in a brave new world of surveillance and corporate collusion.

    Mine is a few years too old to do that. Once my car is no longer working I’ll be putting around on my ebike instead

          I don’t know man, sometimes I can barely hold a YouTube stream on my phone but the ads find a away to come through. lol car and insurance companies would probably go straight to satellite or something if they can resell the info for a dollar over cost.

    What will be interesting is what the reaction will be when geeks figure out how to firewall their cars.

        Definitely a good idea if you are able. For people that have long commutes requiring driving on a freeway, it is probably not an option.

        Bikes are great! I ride mine as often as possible, but many trips are not possible with bikes, in the US.

          Just move to a townhouse closer to your job… Oh wait… They tore them all down to build freeways and then made it illegal to build new ones…
