The New York Times · General Motors Is Banned From Selling Driving Behavior Data for 5 YearsBy Kashmir Hill

People will get into serous trouble from this data. You don't want:
- A criminal saying to a policeman: I know to which school you children go.
- The inhabitants of a small Christian rural village to know that that one widdower drives weekly 200km to visit a sex club.
- An abusive husband to know his wife visits a therapist.
- A foreign secret service to know who works with military technology and has a secret life.

#smartcar - 🤔 Bilen kunne ikke startes. Xpeng G9-ejer Christian Eriksen oplevede it-nedbrud på færge.

»Færgepersonalet kom over og sagde, at nu begyndte de at fylde færgen op igen, men at vi bare kunne lade bilen stå. Så ville de pakke rundt om den,« fortæller han.

Xpengs kundeservice var umulig at få fat i. Facebook-gruppe afslørede it-nedbrud som årsag. Systemet kom op igen i sidste øjeblik, Eriksen nåede akkurat i land.

Smart bil?

Exciting developments in Apple's next-gen CarPlay. Designed to unify all car screens with a flexible approach for automakers. With wireless-only connections, local and remote UIs, and punch-through UI for custom interfaces, CarPlay ensures seamless integration while allowing automakers control over design.
However, it’s a lot of info and what feels like a lot of Apple realizing that carmakers aren’t going to just give up their interfaces — especially since they’ve already invested in designing these sorts of custom interfaces for their native systems, many of which now run on Unreal Engine with lots of fun animations and have Google services like Maps integrated right in.

www.protectstar.comAre New Cars Spying on You? A Deep Dive into Connected Car Data TrackingSo-called connected cars, vehicles equipped with internet access, are rapidly becoming the norm. While this offers features like safety and maintenance alerts, it also raises serious privacy concerns. Let's delve into the world of connected car data tracking and see what's really going on behind the scenes.

Have you ever been driving in a packed parking lot or city downtown and wished your car could shrink to squeeze between two parked cars?
This electric vehicle is 2.5 meters long and has a unique feature: a retractable chassis. This chassis can extend the wheels out when driving fast, making the vehicle more stable.

But when you need to squeeze through tight spots or park in small spaces, the chassis can pull the wheels in, so the vehicle takes up only a small part of a regular parking space.
