Doesn't GPS lack reverse channel by design (i.e. receive-only)? I thought GPS is safe, as all it can do is receive satellite data and has now way to disclose your location.
- codezero 12y agoMany modern cars combine the onboard GPS with so called "value added" services that uplink data over wireless networks whether you subscribe to the service or not: OnStar, and several custom manufacturer networks. In particular, Tesla vehicles do this. I know my Volkswagen does as well.
