>While driving to a new restaurant, your car’s satellite navigation system tracks your location and guides you to the destination. Onboard cameras constantly track your face and eye movements. When another car veers into your path, forcing you to slam on the brakes, sensors are assisting and recording. Waiting at a stoplight, the car notices when you unbuckle your seat belt to grab your sunglasses in the backseat. Modern cars are computers on wheels that are becoming increasingly connected, enabling innovative new features that make driving safer and more convenient. But these systems are also collecting reams of data on our driving habits and other personal information, raising concerns about data privacy.

>Ford says owners can opt to stop sharing vehicle data with the company by going through the dashboard settings menu or on the FordPass app.

"with the company" is the key here...it does not say they won't stop sharing the aggregated data with the data broker that collects it. Most companies subscribe to a broker that collects it in the first place, as they don't build their own internal systems. GM used to as their data centers were blowing up, but I don't know if thats the case anymore....too easy to just pay a 3rd party to collect and manage it. Then the "opt out" means Ford won't get it, but the data broker/collector still does.

This - right here. Language is important and they will use it against you.

Oh and depending on the MFG, you can find the cutoff years for when they installed mandatory cellular reporting. Ford, most were by 2020, the F250 is 2019, the Explorer 2020, Escape was 2018, F150 was 2018 (I think I remember that).

But you can do some digging and find that. Then just buy the last year that had no cellular built in, and no mandatory federal kill switches.

  1. Sell the new and overpriced Rolling Spyware(c) piece of shit with all the garbage in it that no one wants, no one needs, and no one asked for.
  2. Buy a used vehicle that has none of that scheme-y jewish garbage in it.
  3. Profit.

That is very anti-semitic of you goy. How are they supposed to make more money off of you and your driving data if you don't drive their spyware-mobile? Why do you hate jews so much?
