The ship has sailed on that one. The telematics from the car can also be sent back to the mothership, i.e. if you’re driving like a lunatic, pulling donuts, harsh acceleration and so on.

Laws can change, but I’m not hopeful, tbh. Digital privacy problems are just too abstract to viscerally anger most people. That may change as people that grew up in surveillance capitalism mature, but being so used to invasive data grabs might replace ignorant complacency with aware complacency.

Which is even more absurd. You can watch illegal things on TV too. Both are a gross breach of monopolistic power.

On flip side not having telematics on your most expensive assets (house, car and health) is negligence.
