Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

But apparently have no problem sending all their camera data etc to the CCP.
(They do have a pretty impressive EV line up.)
They would be sending all the data to a fascist regime anyway.
The bizarre fact (or not) is that no country gives a flying fuck to force opt-in or at least force car companies with disclosure and an option to opt-out.
I bought my car 8 years ago, and I never signed on any data sharing.
When I wanted to update the satnav and enable some additional features (like there was supposed to be internet connection with wifi for passangers), then they hit me with eula. And it was very bad.
Needless to say, I never signed it, but I expect them to take everything anyway.
Because that real action would solve the imaginary problem.
I'd rather send it to the authoritarian regime not currently threatening to invade my country, thank you very much.
If I have to send my data to a fascist fuck, might as well do it from a car that doesn't try to actively kill me every time I drive it.
The way the US is going, China is rapidly becoming the preferred option to share data with. It's not like you have a choice not to.
