I think you’re confusing bluetooth connection with wifi connection. They’ve analyzed traffic by wifi traffic analogue for a long time. Bluetooth only works between the car and the phone - it’s very short range. Turn your phone off if you don’t want to be tracked. But as you say they probably have a workaround for that too.

Bluetooth instead of wifi. Gotcha.

Thank you for the correction Ichabod. You can see how technically illiterate I am. I had read articles about that tracking and obviously messed the whole thing up.

So, now, question. Is there any help by turning wifi off on the phone while driving? I am that offended by this intrusion.
