@arstechnica Another reason old cars are awesome. 💪
@arstechnica that's why I only plan crimes on a Ferris wheel.
@arstechnica I imagine the EU will be targeting car manufacturers for these concerns now that they’ve imposed restrictions on software companies. We can hope.
@arstechnica of the spicier notes in this article is Nissan tracking your... sexual activities? Just how prevalent is car sex that not only did they develop something to track it, but it's worth selling to marketers?
@arstechnica Great entertainment for Tesla employees on a lunch break though.
@arstechnica What we need is a new third party market of automotive hardware add-on devices that work like @littlesnitch
@arstechnica WTF? #Nissan tracks sexual activity, and presumably views it?
@arstechnica An Android phone and possibly an Iphone tracks you all the time. If you have tags to find your lost keys they know where yoyuve been. And in every direction from here I drive I am spotted by an ANPR camera
@arstechnica *feels like Neo dodging bullets after making sure to hit Deny when his rental car wanted to connect to his phone when he charged it*
