    Not my 20-year-old car.

    Without regulation, this will continue, and get worse. Remember to vote in every election you can, both local, and national.

      What does voting have to do with anything?

      If you were paying attention about automobile privacy, you would known that democrats signed legislation into law in 2024 that requires all cars sold in the US to have driver monitoring software.

      Partisan politics mean squat in the privacy sphere.

      Democrats aren’t campaigning on this stuff so I’m not sure how voting is going to help this particular issue. They don’t seem to care about it much.

      Are you sure about that? OnStar has been a thing since what? The 90s?

        It’s not OEM, though. Those idiot consumers only have themselves to blame.

          Maybe the OG versions, but GM put onstar in basically every vehicle they made by like the mid 2000s.

      Yes, but voting was over in 2024. People just haven’t gotten the memo.
