‘Modern cars are a privacy nightmare,’ the worst Mozilla’s seen
-
Car brands like Tesla, Ford, and BMW are collecting extensive personal data from drivers without consent, per a Mozilla report.
-
92% of automakers provide little control over data collection; 84% share data with third parties.
-
Information collected includes photos, immigration status, sexual activity, driving habits, and more.
-
Tesla scored worst overall for privacy practices; dating apps had better practices than cars.
-
Mozilla started a petition urging automakers to stop unfair data collection programs and hold them accountable.
