A Seattle-based appellate judge ruled that the practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, handing a big win to automakers Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and General Motors.
New car is still connected and is monitoring your driving habits, whether you wear a seatbelt or not, possibly recording your conversations, and even keeping track of your weight with the sensors in the seats.
I’ve been having dreams lately where I’m driving around in my old 1987 thunderbird that I got in 2003 when I was in high school. It wasn’t a great car and I was hoping my next vehicle could be electric, but maybe that’s a sign I need to be going backwards.
In my region, where public transport doesn’t exist much at all, if you don’t drive, you might not eat or work (the lucky few work remotely, but not all).
i’m sorry but are you commenting this for any reason other than to make yourself feel better about owning a car? i see people doing this all the time and i don’t get what other reason there would be to bring it up as the immediate response to comments about going car-free

This is why I keep my 2006 toyota in tip top shape. I will drive that car as long as I possibly can.
I’m taking my 2006 Avalon to 300k miles and beyond!
Really considering taking out a loan just to fix an old car instead of buying new.
I’ve got a 2007 Kia that I’m planning to drive until I can’t fix it anymore
So far that’s proving to be a pretty easy given the cost and availability of parts
What’s the difference between never connecting your phone to a brand new high tech car and having no tech in an older car?
New car is still connected and is monitoring your driving habits, whether you wear a seatbelt or not, possibly recording your conversations, and even keeping track of your weight with the sensors in the seats.
