“Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men”.

Whether it is private or public actors anyone who invades your privacy is your enemy.

So the real question here is, How do they collect this data?
Is it only when you download so app from the mfg to the computer screen in the car?
If so, then don’t download their junk.

If they collect the data via various sensors in the car, then where are they so we can disable them.

With out this info, this story is meaningless.

"“preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions..."

I'm a big fan of the word "predilections."

Just sounds so dirty.

There’s gonna be a meter on your bed....
From the song “Everybody Knows” by Leonard Cohen.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied

Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

Does this mean that when “road head” is detected, that there will be a flavored condom advertisement on the automotive touch screen each time the car starts up? Or maybe each time someone of the right body weight is in the passenger seat? Or maybe on one’s smart phone?

“Vehicle manufacturers are now tracking and storing some very personal data inside the car’s internal computers, including things like if you have sex inside the car and even your unique genetics”

So I can see them giving your data they glean from the paper wok you fill out when buying the vehicle but as far as tellingin if you have sex in it seems to be a stretch.

Having sex in the car back in the 70s was fun... now I hurt just getting in and out.

I’m sure my ‘95 truck is not taking DNA samples and recording movement and grunting sounds.
