Researchers found data is being gathered by sensors, microphones, cameras, and the phones and devices drivers connect to their cars, as well as by car apps, company websites, dealerships, and vehicle telematics. Brands can then share or sell this data to third parties. Car brands can also take much of this data and use it to develop inferences about a driver’s intelligence, abilities, characteristics, preferences, and more.

What the actual crispy-fried fuck is this? Drivers intelligence? Sexual activity?!?

I am sure they cannot legally sale data about bystanders who have not agreed to their policy, right? right?
