I absolutely refuse insurance company monitoring devices. There is no way in hell I would buy a vehicle with one built in.

- pc86 3y agoRealistically how would you ever know, if there's simply an agreement that you let the car collect "some telemetry" and simultaneously allow the manufacturer to share that data with "their partners?" If you say it's because you read agreements like that before buying a car, I just don't believe you. Look at all the things Toyota and Subaru have done in this arena over the last few years. Unless there is legislation to prevent it we will reach a point where at the very least private insurance companies will have access to this data, provided they are willing to buy it. In an even worse scenario we'll have courts and law enforcement with access to this as well.
- nottheengineer 3y agoThis is why my next car is hopefully going to be my last one. I have my eyes on an ND Miata. Tried researching the privacy aspect and found one reddit comment from 69 days ago saying the infotainment system is old enough to not do this crap. Does anyone have more info on that?
