Curious how much less data these manufacturers get if I’m using CarPlay instead of their own homegrown console. It’s getting to the point where I straight up won’t purchase a new vehicle if it doesn’t offer CarPlay.
There’s probably other sensor gathering happening around the vehicle and obviously you can’t hide things like driving habits but it feels like staying out of the manufacturer’s homegrown OS gets rid of a good chunk of the worst privacy nightmares
- inhumantsar 3y agoWhy would it? It's not like the car's OS is off while you're using carplay. There's still microphones, GPS, cameras, etc.
- dividedbyzero 3y agoI assume the manufacturer's OS would be what's running the car side of CarPlay, so it might even be able to get information from CarPlay.
- pluc 3y agoAre you seriously considering that your phone tracks you less than your car?
- dreamcompiler 3y agoYou can turn off location services on your phone. You can't in your car.
- pluc 3y agoBy definition as long as your mobile phone is a mobile phone it's a tracking device. You can turn it off just like you can turn your car off
- heyoni 3y agoYes.
- Angostura 3y agoYes - or rather you have more control over what you decide to let it track.
