May I ask why your plate information being out there concerns you?
If it's 3rd party "plate readers" tracking your travel, your vehicle is already sending telemetry data outbound regardless, after you give the manufacturer 40 grand and you don't even get to pick which fancy picture goes on your car.
- hnbear 3y agoNothing especially rational, although generally I like to minimize what I can. If I can easily reduce one form of data leak I will. Your point is correct. There are many sources that we each hemorrhage data from, and it’s likely a lost battle. Thinking a little more there are aspects of choice and consent here. I know I bought a car with telemetry, a cell modem in it, and a gps receiver, so it can be tracked. I’m not willingly opting into continuous surveillance by various third parties. It happens and driving is worth more to me then my loss of data tantrum, so I have a car and drive. It’s not all rational. That said, I also have an older car with no electronic monitoring and love it too.
