I've seen articles of how the car maker will sell this to insurance and if you do anything wrong your rate will go up.
If I ever buy a new car you can bet I'll be doing research on how to rip that shit out. Won't even drive it home from the dealer without getting in there first.
If it can be removed. Car electronics are as integrated as your phone removing or disabling individual parts can totally fubar the car. Canada (and the rest of the world) needs to set some seriously harsh standards for vehicles and digital privacy.
When I need a new car it'll be well researched and proven to be possible, or it will be a old 1990's car and I'll upgrade parts. I don't mind soldering, researching chips, removing any antennas, etc.
In any case, It's public knowledge so hopefully we get laws or something first to stop this shit.

Then again. My rate might go up because my car doesn't submit reports
