My understanding is that it is more that the old behavior was for it to turn off things. However, the world moved pretty quickly so that majority cases were such that that just doesn't make sense as the default anymore. Not that there aren't some problems here, of course. My point was more amusement that I doubt I could tell you exactly what "airplane mode" actually does, now. On topic for this article, my question is what makes cars more of a privacy nightmare than the phones and basically every other connection that we have? Note that I'm not trying to say there is no nightmare, per se. I just don't know that I buy the car being a prime mover on that. Now, I will gladly bold and underline the security/safety concerns in cars getting connected. That, I 100% agree with.
