Serious question: how does one find out if a given car (make/model) has that stuff in it?
I'm kinda-sorta thinking about replacing my 2006 car, maybe. The last time I bought a car I definitely didn't have to worry about it spying on me :)
- mortos 2y agoIt's a bad faith argument. I'm not as familiar with the other markets, but this would mean avoiding all Japanese cars. Which is a bad idea if you also want a reliable car and/or value. I'm just familiar with the data collection and the flow of data to insurance companies for JDM cars. A quick look at an EFF article and you should probably also avoid every car manufacturer.

I don't believe Honda does, looks like they go through a different data broker. TMIS also gives the data to other companies that create metrics and ML models for insurance companies.
