BlackEcoVolkswagen has been collecting geolocation data from their smart cars, which were accidentally made public
stoyWhat models have they tracked?
Hard to know as the whole presentation hasn’t been released yet, for now only people who were in the conference room would know.
VakbrainLet’s be real, any VW cars with a head unit with maps capabilities and a SIM card are certainly tracked down. Why would it be limited to electric drive trained cars only? There’s no GPS in the motors… It’s in the head unit
DojanThis echoes my thought. A friend of mine had a petrol driven Golf from like 2019 or so with an app he could use to access it. I think it had a GPS built in, so I don’t see why VW wouldn’t have been able to record that.
Car manufacturers don’t face nearly enough scrutiny or regulation as they ought.
Very powerful lobby in a lot of countries.
