Given your work on vehicle telematics have you any follow on behaviour and / or tips?
eg: Do you disable such things in your car, follow any hackers who give sound advice on how to do so, interesting blogs or forums in that space to share, etc.
It's moot to me .. I'm still driving and maintaining classic old cars (rural Australia), trucks, tractors, etc and doubt I'd purchase a car wih a link.
I'm curious to see if cars are released anytime that respect driver privacy and allow wireless connections to be effectively severed, restricting connections to service diagnostics at a shop.

So the car keeps its internet connection no matter what unfortunately. One thing I looked into was removing the modem from the head unit. They store the cell modems in the head units (radio), so if you can find a tutorial for your specific car you could pull it out one day and completely unplug the cell modem. That's the only thing I've found to be able to stop the tracking & data collection. Issue with that is dealers and people on the GM forums think you're insane for wanting to do this. A dying percent of us care about privacy anymore, it's sad
