I never said anything about extensive geolocation, storing data, or constantly listening. What are you on about? Most safety sensors aren’t connected to the infotainment system.
Putting advanced safety technology in a car and putting spyware in a car are two different conversations.
OK I think we’re having some miscommunication here.
When I say I want a private car and no computers, I was referring to data storage and telemetry and geolocation communication. Perhaps I was wrong to say ‘no computers’ since the sensors and LIDARs and automated warnings require some computers. So to be specific, I do not want computers with persistent data storage. I read about a case in Canada where the police seized a vehicle’s blackbox after a car crash and they mentioned that the blackbox only stored data for 5 seconds (which is enough time to get information on a car crash) and no more, and it does not contained any stored data about the owner or driver of the car and their driving habits/location history. I can actually live with that.
We absolutely can have cars with as much privacy as the old hunks of metal of old without sacrificing the safety aspects. Of course there are tons of other privacy invading things when you are driving a car. Automated license plate readers and traffic cameras and cameras all over the place, but having the shit removed from within the car is important.
The infotainment is still shit I would get rid of. I don’t want it.
