Most cars probably don't store that data. The opposition ad is lying about whats in your car and who can access it.

- bbarnett 6y agoIf it's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that if someone can, and there's any profit motive, they will. In terms of storing data? 20 years ago my VW recorded a great deal, as I discovered when the dealer's repair shop said to me "So you like to drive fast, eh?". They knew precisely how fast, too. What else is stored in that black box, which is often used by insurance companies, and police, after an accident? And required to be there, by US law? Or I suppose if they decided to execute a warrant against it? These days, I'd be astonished if GPS data wasn't stored there too. And a lot more, as well. Yet I say this ; do you know? Precisely? Exactly and precisely what is stored there? Yet outside of the EDR/black box, there's the infotainment system, often with GPS data as well. Note that I 100% agree with 'right to repair'.
