    I guess since I drive a ten year old Jeep this isn’t an issue for me, but why should your car be collecting any data about you whatsoever? It’s like suddenly having your toaster spy on you. It’s a car. It should just drive.

    I dont know if this actually adds a safeguard against it or not, but I refuse to pay the monthly subscription to unlock my car via phone (plus other capabilities). Hope the petition mentioned goes somewhere.

      Nobody knows. Even if you know today, they can change what and how they collect .

      I suspect they have a very cheap low priority data plan with the cell phone providers. Even if you don’t pay the fee, that doesn’t stop them from collecting your data and potentially selling it. Paying the fee gives you features, but doesn’t mean they can’t do more.
