I don't have a car, but what the holy hell is happening with on-board car computers. They're proprietary and locked down, they always know where you're going and they have a microphone that you have no way of knowing if it's on.

Privacy nightmare. Not to mention every brand ships a different shitty UI.

Are there any efforts for open standards? Are there any cars that allow you to choose your own OS?

I am in somebody else's car and it doesn't let you pair a bluetooth phone for playing music if the car is already driving, even if you're the passenger.

Just the other year, I recall a brand mentioning it knew how many times people had sex in the backseat of their cars because of how the on-board computer recorded readings from the suspension while the car was parked. It’s truly an insane level of privacy invasion.
