OTA-upgradable means automakers are siphoning your data and selling it off to who knows where. Speed, gps, brake, etc. Hundreds of pieces of data. I'm sure insurance companies are actively buying this data up.

Here's hoping. Given what we've learned about how accident rates are under-reported, it would be nice if somebody was getting a more accurate global picture of how driving actually works to allow for safer roads and safer insurance policies.

Beautiful thinking. Now back to reality - let's randomly play ads through your car audio system while driving and at max volume. Of course we will block your ability to control said audio system for duration of an ad so you can't skip nor mute the ad, duh. Enjoy your internet connected car.
