Cats are trying to spy on you
I’m cool with that. They’ll just tell other cats.
I just don’t see a way out of this in the US. The only thing that could convince lawmakers to remove privacy violating sensors in cars is Chinese EVs spying on American drivers. As long as they’re prohibited from being sold in the country though that’s still too vague a threat for them to do anything about it.
Their answer would be to make the Chinese sell the US software version to a US company, as they did with TIKTOK US.
They’re caught between raising privacy safeguards (hurting US data brokers like Google) and making sure a foreign company doesn’t have access to American users. Their answer was to force the foreign company to sell their US subsidiary. This is the current playbook.
You will lose more rights and the government will see to it that only US companies can exploit you, though even this is becoming increasingly untenable.
What do you mean trying
My 2008 Kia is doing its best, but it just doesn’t have the brains to pull it off.
2013 Nissan Leaf tries to, but it’s online system died in the mid teens when they pulled the plug, and 2G is mostly phased out anyway. You can hack it to use a custom self hosted replacement server and an IoT SIM card tho!
