The Powertrain Controller of most vehicles will act as an airplane "black box", so yes, internally that data is there, but it is not publically available. You might notice all the Telsa Autopilot crash stories always include some data about how fast the driver was going, etc. This was extracted from "black box" type data. Tesla didn't invent that, they learned it from the other automakers, who learned it from the airline industry.

Thanks. That's why I have stayed away from giving them that access.The Powertrain Controller of most vehicles will act as an airplane "black box", so yes, internally that data is there, but it is not publically available.

Insurance companies have these small devices they will attach to the OBDII port (small electrical connector under the steering column), and they collect a limited set of this data. This is advertised as a way to lower your insurance rate... but you are basically giving the insurance company a way to track all of your movements, plus how many times you do "0-60" trials
hmm. The dead-dino Mustangs have "track apps" in the dashboard that do this kind of stuff without anything extra needed. I may know someone who has used some of them in a rental car. Not me, but a friend. Yeah, a friend.
