I post this a second time because this post is more active. What can we do to stop the transfer of data? Can we disconnect the antenna/modem that connects the cars to the Internet?
This has been one of the major reasons I have no desire to buy a new car. I do not want a $30k IoT device that spies on me. Unfortunately, that is pretty much the norm now.
If/when I am forced to buy another, I’ll be looking hard into which ones are the easiest to rip the modem out of. Can’t be an IoT spying device without the internet.
Can’t really go into depth, but I worked for a major automaker, privacy is a joke for newer cars even if you don’t pay for the Internet plans.
Nissan also said it collected information on “sexual activity.” It didn’t explain how.
Nissan doesn’t provide a detailed explanation of how the data is collected, but they say that the source they collect the data is “Direct contact with users and Nissan employees,” Whatever that means.

Based on this information, I can only infer that the Nissan sales handbook has a section on using seduction for particularly difficult and/or hot potential customers.
…I used to work at a pizza shop. Oh, so that’s why we got so many orders from the local Nissan dealership!
Are dumb cars still manufactured? I don’t drive so I have no clue what the market’s like.
Holy god. I’m not letting go of my '09 carolla and ebike. What the fuck.
