      What data exactly is it going to upload? There’s a finite amount of data that can store and I’d imagine with the chip/storage costs on the rise no manufacturer is going to be using a larger onboard storage device. They’re all too damn cheap for that

        GPS coordinates and timestamps. Metadata from biometric photos. Your sexual habits from the seat cushion sensors (this is in their own privacy policy)

        A large part of their income is selling this data to police (or anyone who pays the data brokers, really). It’s cheap to store and it would be stupid for them not to.

      I guess if you write this enough times it becomes true. How much data do you think a control module stores?
