The latest, most advanced security against this sort of thing? Cars older than 1996.

Your car is spying on you

Yeah nah.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, yeah

You assume I drive a modern car

I assure you my 2002 Corolla isn’t spying on me

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm with you, my car is over 10 years old too.

Hope your 2002 can keep on rolling.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah nah she’s good.

Due for an oil change but I reckon I’ll get 500k out of er no dramas

Cheers

Mine is definitely spying on me. Every time I open a door, the dome light comes on. It must know I'm nearby.

Not if I don't have a car. Checkmate.

Cars around can spy on others, they have cameras pointing outside.

But I assume not owning a car is better than having a car that spies, as it makes profiling harder.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

I would like to switch to an EV. But I do not want a car to spy on me and sell my data, especially to my insurerer. I don't think such a thing exists outside of EV conversions. I also dont want to spend $80k on a vehicle. Maybe the Slate when it comes out? But I'm not thrilled about the Bezos connection. Guess I'll keep driving my 19yr old gas guzzler a while longer.
