Internet-connected cars fail privacy and security tests conducted by Mozilla
Of all the horrible things go on with privacy these days, this is the one I hate the most.  I’m a “car guy”, but not the sort that obsesses over old cars (although I do love 60s and 80s cars).  I like new tech, I like the advances in engineering we’ve made in new vehicles, I like EVs even.Nonetheless I’ve been in the market for a new car for months and haven’t bought because it’s hard to find any cars that meet my requirements (after all most companies primarily make trucks and shitty crossovers, not even cars). The two things that consistently hold me back are either things like this (crazy telemetry / touchscreens everywhere / half-ass safety tech) or insane dealer markups.  I’ve pretty much figured out the new Toyota GR Corolla is the perfect car for my needs, but you can’t find them anywhere without a $25K+ dealer markup and many dealers won’t sell them to out of state residents.It’s truly a crazy time in the new car markets and the used market isn’t really any better.
