I guess it makes sense to monetize driving, since it will become less and lesser human dependant. But this process of ad-izing every smart surface we possess, connecting cars to the Internet, seems dystopian to me. If it keeps being as unregulated as it is now, it's gonna be a privacy nightmare and potentially a monopoly in the making for car IoT manufacturers. It's intriguing to think about the possibility of choosing cars to be cheaper, in exchange of your data. But without any opt out, mobile data disabling option (in no modern car there's such options, afaik) or comprehensible privacy policy, I miss more and more offline cars (which are very likely going to cost you both your livers). #volvo #cars #tech #apple #carplay #privacy #ads
