As it turns out, Volkswagen has been collecting extensive geo data from all their electric cars and made them available online in an AWS bucket. Almost 10TB of geo traces from 15 MiO cars. Amazing detail and patterns. This is why I don't want a smart car 🤯 https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/wir-wissen-wo-dein-auto-steht-volksdaten-von-volkswagen/ #Volksdaten
I live in a small, rural community. The county sheriff’s department just announced how they bought the GPS tracking data for every vehicle in the county and how it’s going to “help calm traffic because they can predict where people are going to be speeding and can have an officer waiting”
The pre-crime department is starting and no one batted an eye.
Same, for now. Although, we have two ICE vehicles and want to swap to electric. I haven’t looked, but I can’t imagine there’s a great selection of electric, but ‘dumb’ in the US, considering GPS was mandatory for new vehicles in … 2016, I think?
I’ve also heard people say you can just pull the fuse for the GPS, but I’m still skeptical.
You can choose om the software if you want location services or not, but everyone leaves it on. This is what is leaked. If you turn it off it doesn’t report in location centrally at all.

Every time I hear something like this I’m glad I bought an old car without any connectivity.

My car is a 2012, I’ll be holding onto it until it falls apart.
Just let the car deduct the points from my licence automatically already.
