around 2010 just about every car started to come with an embedded cellular modem. If your car offers any sort of remote start, SOS or concierge functionality, it's infected. And car companies have been caught selling driving data to insurance companies. Ugh.

- inslee1 2y agoThe good news is that if your car has a 3G embedded modem, it probably doesn't have any networks to connect to anymore.
- TaylorAlexander 2y agoYes, I should have been more explicit but I was relying on the fact that the cellular modem in my car and many others from that time have had their service discontinued. So the car likely did used to report on me, but I suspect it does not any longer.
