This quote was taken out of context and generalized, I assume purposely, to unjustly raise the alarm level. According to the Business Insider article, he was specifically referring to speeding violations.
From http://www.businessinsider.com/ford-exec-gps-2014-1 http://www.businessinsider.com/ford-exec-gps-2014-1:
"Because of the GPS units installed in Ford vehicles, Ford knows when many of its drivers are speeding, and where they are while they're doing it." He also said "I absolutely left the wrong impression about how Ford operates. We do not track our customers in their cars without their approval or consent."
The iPhone in your pocket can do much more damage to you in terms of incriminating evidence than Ford can.

- kbutler 13y agoYou are quoting the article, but the headline is from his quoted statement a paragraph later (later retracted saying it was hypothetical): "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it. We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone," he told attendees. http://www.businessinsider.com/ford-exec-gps-2014-1 http://www.businessinsider.com/ford-exec-gps-2014-1
