Mozilla Car Maker Privacy review

TLDR: They all take all the data they can get and there's not much you can do about it:

My favorite:

• Nissan earned its second-to-last spot for collecting some of the creepiest categoriesof data we have ever seen. It’s worth reading the review in full, but you should know it includes your “sexual activity.” Not to be out done, Kia also mentions they can collect information about your “sex life” in their privacy policy. Oh, and six car companies say they can collect your “genetic information” or “genetic characteristics.” Yes, reading car privacy policies is a scary endeavor.

Edit: Add link to Ford's review: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/ford/

In retrospect I feel like their sexy girl hamster commercial for the Soul EV was a direct result of that research...

If You’ve Got a New Car, It’s a Data Privacy Nightmare
Bad news: your car is a spy. Every major car brand's new internet-connected models flunked privacy and security tests conducted by Mozilla.

... involving more than one person.

Sadly this is where everything is moving.

I don't think this makes Ford a shitty company. I do however think that back in 2020 when they funded (via the alliance for automotive innovation) that ad that said third party repairs will get you raped by sexual predators, does make them a shitty company.
