I was driving in a rented car and just decided to start randomly singing and... yeah, the car's AI asked me to repeat.
Cars have had GPS capable black boxes for a long time. They claim it is for the same reason as airplane black boxes, but I call bullshit on that.
Would be interesting if people demand their car modems disconnected enmasse contractually before they bought newer cars. Then have an independent mechanic confirm its disconnected or dealer pays out the arse. Make em think twice about this crap
