And when all the used cars are gone and I'm forced to buy one of these I'll promptly be destroying the radio transmitters and everything related to this surveillance.
Straight to jail.
Right away.
the "surveillance" seems to happen on the car locally. Kind of an expansion of current driver attention systems to include impairment detection.
"Local" surveillance happening on the same car computer that's attached to a SIM card.
Yeah seems safe
It's local right until the law enforcement gets into Bluetooth range with the right encryption keys to download all of the data for the past year.
Bold of you to assume any of this will be encrypted.
It'll be like the 70s in the US again. Rip out all the bullshit smog stuff and put on a new carb. Because a v8 mustang shouldn't be making 130hp.
