If the car cannot be driven at a certain speed, then they should limit its speed artificially and advertise its limitations transparently. Otherwise it is their fault and they should still honor warranty claims.
Leaving that aside, I still consider it a violation of privacy. No one expects that what they do with something they own is being monitored and recorded in order to be used against them at some opportune moment.
As for data brokers, the allegations are that they sell data to Lexis Nexis who then sells it to insurance companies and potentially others.
As for what other companies do … I don’t own a Tesla but I sort of expect a car with futuristic self driving capabilities to come with some degree of data collection. I don’t expect a basic Kia or Subaru or Ford or Honda to do that. Either way, I believe all of these vehicles should not collect any data by default and should be opt in only.
- robertlagrant 2y agoThey probably do say "driving this car in a way that makes the engine scream invalidates the warranty" in some way or another. That's an easy one to detect. If I slammed up and down curbs all day long and the suspension went it'd be harder to detect, but no less not a warranty problem.
