All mozilla did was read the privacy policies. This is not a defense of car companies, but we need a real, detailed analysis of what is actually collected, when it is collected, and where it is stored. I hate tech in modern cars, Mozilla’s reporting here does very little to help anyone understand what is really going on; only what has been noted in the privacy agreement.

Even though this is "just reading the privacy policy", it's pretty damning when your car company says they can collect your sexual orientation, political affiliation, etc. and straight up say that they sell your information.

Unless the companies themselves divulge that information, or various governments team up and force them to, this is the best you're going to get.
