Car brands like Tesla, Ford, and BMW are collecting extensive personal data from drivers without consent, per a Mozilla report.

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.
