YOUR CAR KNOWS a lot about you. Including facial recognition and other biometrics as well as data contained on any device connected to the car and can transmit wirelessly without your knowledge or consent over 25 gigabytes per hour. Downloads are also available via physical connection to the car.
Over the past decade, vehicles have become increasingly connected and their ability to record data about us has shot up. Cars can track where you’re traveling to and from, record every press on the accelerator as well as your seatbelt settings, and gather biometric information about you. Some of this data is sold by the murky data-broker industry.
