How do they collect any data? Beyond the locations the car drives to.

From the article:

from your medical information, your genetic information, to your “sex life”

But how? I can’t fathom it.

Internal dash cam video and/or audio.

LWD,

From metadata alone, you could identify somebody at a strip club on Friday, a church on Sunday, and an STD clinic on Tuesday

SomeoneSomewhere,

Bear in mind many models also have voice recognition, and the Bluetooth can potentially pick up the MAC on every phone in the car.

maxprime,

Not a single friend or family member gives two shits about privacy. When I tell them about what companies know about them and what they do with that information, it’s kind of like a vegan telling a meat eater where their meat comes from. Like “wow that sounds bad but I’m not willing to make any changes”. The only difference is that instead of animals being a product, this time they are the product.

TexMexBazooka,

The effective way to combat this is to pull their information from data brokers and tell them everything you know. Then they feel violated, as they should.

They’ll blame you and never put two and two together though.

maxprime,

Haha, that doesn’t sound super effective though.
