There’s a shitload of privacy issues with almost all new cars, but at least outside of Tesla I don’t know of any streaming cameras anywhere past the dash. Even if they did most 360 camera systems have pretty shit views for anything but the road immediately around the vehicle. I just got a new Ford and you wouldn’t see faces no matter how close or far someone was from any of the cameras without them putting their head right up to one. Sure my GPS data is going who knows where at all times and they know about every hard turn or speeding incident, but outside of removing the battery from my phone I’m not exactly sure how to avoid that going to a half dozen random companies for pennies anyway.
I’m a privacy conscious dude but I’m so damn tired of losing to big companies I’m not sure how hard I can fight beyond tiny donations to the EFF and being aware of all these issues to annoy my friends about whenever it comes up. 🤷♂️
