Automakers are Secretly Collecting and Selling Your Personal Information

For years, Americans have been warned about smartphones tracking their every move. But few realize that their cars are now doing the same thing, often more aggressively, and with fewer legal safeguards. Modern vehicles are rolling computers. They log your routes, your speed, your phone contacts, even your voice commands. Automakers call it “connected convenience.” Privacy experts call it something else: surveillance on wheels.

Today’s vehicles collect vast amounts of data from dozens of onboard sensors. Some of it makes sense — like GPS data for navigation or tire pressure monitoring for safety. But other data, including precise location history, in-car microphone recordings, and driver behavior, may be stored and transmitted to manufacturers or third-party data brokers. This was all approved through the Biden Infrastructure Bill in 2021. The same one that added in the "Kill Switch" which is still in play.

Here is why your insurance is spiking and your privacy is no longer being protected.
