Isn't it common now for our car manufacturers to store a log of GPS data in an ECU? I could have sworn I've once read about this around three years ago. This German article [0] from 2022-02-03 for example mentions cars storing some usage data: > In summary, it can be said that data is constantly being recorded for all cars, which allows conclusions to be drawn about the usage profile, the intensity of use, the number of drivers or even the driving style. A few examples of data evaluation and transmission: - Usage profile: Separate storage of the kilometers driven on the freeway, country roads and in the city Number of individual journeys, broken down by kilometers Charging and discharging cycles with time, date, mileage Utilization data of the combustion engine in plug-in hybrids Regular GPS data with status report of important vehicle data Hours of operation of the vehicle lights, separated according to individual light sources - Driving style: Number of electric belt tightenings (how often do you brake hard?) Entries for excessive engine speed or temperature (speeders) Charge and cell voltage of the drive battery Duration, how as long as the driver uses the various modes of the automatic transmission (continuous/manual/sport) - Intensity of use/number of drivers: Number of adjustments of the electric driver's seat (allows conclusions to be drawn about the number of drivers) Number of media inserted in the CD/DVD drive Duration and time d he phone calls -- [0] https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/ausstattung-technik-zubehoer/assistenzsysteme/daten-modernes-auto/ https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/ausstattung-technik-zu...
