Attached: 1 image As it turns out, Volkswagen has been collecting extensive geo data from all their electric cars and made them available online in an AWS bucket. Almost 10TB of geo traces from 15 MiO cars. Amazing detail and patterns. This is why I don't want a smart car 🤯 https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/wir-wissen-wo-dein-auto-steht-volksdaten-von-volkswagen/ #Volksdaten

Do they make an electric car that doesn’t have such sensors (eg cabin microphone) and doesn’t have internet access?

My 2nd Generation Nissan Leaf is primitive, I do not use half the crap in the car, compared to the competition.

They do, the Dacia Spring has nothing like that if I’m not wrong

Edit: just checked, and it seems they added all the connected big screens crap, my bad

I don’t know about electric but the regular ones are available in basic versions without internet and “luxury” ones with all that crap
