Maps are fine for me mostly because my phone already knows where I am, and I don’t want my car to. Also CarPlay already supports adding turn by turn to the car’s dash Outside of the normal CarPlay screen
Most modern vehicles know where you are regardless of whether or not you’re paying for any location-based services.
I am curious: why are you ok with your phone knowing where you are, but why is it not ok for your car to know where it is?
From my point of view, the car has a much more valid reason to have location services.
Sure. I am an iOS dev. I understand apples privacy protections and policies. I limit access to most apps and have some amount of confidence in Apple not selling my location information based on both their privacy policies and business model.
I have zero confidence in the security models of car manufacturers, and haven’t looked closely into if they sell location data or not (my newest car is 15 years old) but I’m guessing they do.
