Access to telemetry data: Automotive industry criticizes intelligence reform
- jtbayly 1mo agoIs there anything I can do besides refuse to buy a car that collects telemetry? Are there such cars still being manufactured?
- ElFitz 1mo agoI guess the only option nowadays is to buy an old used car. Soon some of us will be back to using typewriters.
- xtiansimon 1mo ago> “… back to using typewriters” Back to using vehicles with _fuses_.

- exabrial 1mo agoMost sensible cars have modules that fail independently. I pulled the modem out of my 2018 k2 and it still works just fine. With newer, esp electric vehicles, there is an absolutely clear trend of non-repairability; failure rather than resiliency. Don’t expect the ability to do this forever.

- hollow-moe 1mo agoThen don't put the spying tech in the car in the first place maybe ?

- intunderflow 1mo agoRemember when EU citizens were saying as little as a month ago having always on distracted driver cameras in all cars is completely fine because the government would never have access. Hard to tell if it's naivety or cope.
- BoingBoomTschak 1mo agoThank you, you made be go down the Google hole to see if my MX-5 ND had anything like this... and it doesn't! Since only >= 2018 homologations are required to have an eCall module builtin, the ND only works if you have a smartphone connected to it. So the tip is: all European models released in and after 2018 are compromised (as in always connected to the GSM network).
