Tongue-in-cheek, well mostly but not entirely .. I do appreciate e.g. accurate travel times, yet refuse to believe they won't take it to the next step. http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/how-vicroads-tracks-your-every-move-to-keep-you-moving-20160219-gmyll3.html http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/how-vicroads-tracks-your-e...

- runholm 10y agoModern Bluetooth devices, including all smart phones running Windows, iOS or Android, does not use static addresses that can be used as a signature to track you. Instead, they use private resolvable keys for all handshakes with devices around them. A new key is generated every few minutes, and only a device which you have previously bonded with is able to resolve your key through data exchanged in the bonding process.
