So Honda knows my top speed on my commute? Is that why I keep getting pop ups from the local funeral home offering for me to pre-pay?

If my car was selling my data, it better be giving me some of that money for gas and repairs.
My large adult son told me that his 2005 Hyundai Tiburon subtracts 13 cents from his lunch money every time he exits an off ramp above the advised speed limit

@@retrogaminggenesis6102 There are a lot of conspiracy theories out there about everything being crypto-Masonic evil and stuff, he was goofing on that anti-Masonic nutjobbery. The Order of the Eastern Star was or is real, though, but it was like the womens' auxiliary to the full-fledged Masons at least before they started accepting women as regular Masons, though. Not sure if they still have that or what.
"Your Car is Selling Your Data"
Regular People: *GASP*
IT People: "Well, Duh"
car people with old cars: "lol"
As an IT guy I'm actually surprised as well however I live in the eastern Europe and I've yet to come across a car connected to the Internet here.
@@Lightning-Shock Oh are navigation, data plans, blue-tooth connectivity or Voice recognition not popular features there? Because all of those services typically require some type of internet access and can be used to transmit data.
Given how prevalent that is with EU automakers (Germans especially) I thought you'd see far more of that, but it is Eastern Europe so perhaps you guys are still a few years behind us.
@@BigHeadClan you don't need internet for Bluetooth connectivity and navigation, which are features that I have. Voice recognition is done by features like Android auto, which is a phone's internet. Anyway, to be honest, I myself haven't had many occasions to jump into an upper class car like a BMW or Mercedes.
@@sacksis You are correct that those are independent features but Modern infotainment systems they also include integrated services like live traffic updates, music streaming, weather etc. And that tie into those applications and provide real-time updates.
True things like Maps or voice recognition can be a one-time download but it's also a fact that nearly all modern cars with navigation either have it's own LTE connection or at the very least can be tethered to a phone via blue-tooth... And thus is capable of transmitting data and connecting to the internet.
I admittedly wasn't very clear in my previous post but if you think for a second car manufactures aren't capable or willing to collect people's information
when they already do so with our TV's and cell-phones your hopelessly naive.
Bro my Jeep can't even roll it's own windows up, I don't think it's spying on me
That's exactly what a car that was spying on you would WANT you to think :D
It’s too old too then lmao it’s only for newer cars
For jeeps Chrysler's dodges, and rams this data can only be collected if it has the 3g chip only offered on vehicles equipted with the uconnect 8.4a which has the access feature. Basically if you have the 911/help button on your rearview mirror than your car has it.
@@sacksis sorry of I wasnt clear. I meant was only so they could recognize if their car had the capability or not. I dont know anything about weither or not they are using our data. I personally drive a car with an 8.4an and dont care if someone is listening to me try and sing along with beyonce or not lol
@AD1 what year is she?
Porsche refuses to implement Android Auto on its cars because Google asks for too much data about their drivers, theres something to look at.
Porsche isn't doing it for the security of their car owners. They're doing it because they don't want to share the data for free with Google.
What is Android Auto?
@@joeyleclaire andoid os based car stereo
@Dave Micolichek hahaha Google doesn't listen. They still collect your data. They don't care, they have enough money and make too much from it to even consider stopping it. If you have an Android phone, you have a shit ton of data going to Google

are you really a car enthusiast if you buy a car for its safety features
@@2ktc24 i dont think that was his point.
Old & classic car drivers are usually experienced & skilled. Their driving makes their cars safe.
I love how Australian internet is too slow for them to even bother tracking my data haha
Lmao
i mean it could jsut save it and upload when on wifi....
just gps recording and time stamps
Five Eyes, bro. Just because the Australian government doesn't have the ability doesn't mean that their allies with whom they share intelligence can't.
in a decade Australian internet will be updated and all of its outdated car data will pour into the database messing the rest of the world up. Australia saves the day again!
.
Cell phones record SO much data most people wouldn't believe it. It knows where you are, can use the mic and cameras without you knowing, and even in airplane mode, knows where you are. It just doesn't send data until you're out of airplane mode. In fact, most of the time, the phone is so accurate, it knows if you're on the first or second, or 13th floor of a building. You are tracked by which wifi your phone attempts to connect to, and uses all of the data collected to target ads at you. My truck sending data about me, not unbelievable and I really don't much care. But, if you're planning on committing a crime, don't take a new vehicle. All that data can be collected.
Well my dude, GPS on your phone doesn't need to be on a network. Takes longer to get a lock but it can keep getting your location
Yea thats why I like phones with removable batteries so that if you dont want you can cut those trackers of at their knees
They can use my camera? I hope they enjoy seeing me naked😳
@@lilblingking1491 there are even apps you can install unknowingly on other people's phone that can remotely access the cameras and mics of the target phone. So yes, thankfully I'm not the NSA guy and don't have to see you in in all your, uh, "glory."
It's much worse than that though. They know what you earn, what restaurants you like and when you go to them, they know where you work and live, and they know where your friends and family work and live. If you're female, they know when you're on your period.
One of the Vin wiki stories was about OnStar calling the car because there average speed was high and thought someone had stolen the car or driving it recklessly. They were on a race track. Mind your dam business OnStar!
If this is the story about the Corvette on the race track the G force sensor was going off and on star thought that they had gotten into a crash which is pretty typical
ItsGary Why would someone take a Tahoe/Denali to a race track?
Fun fact, the Denali Yukon and the Escalade have some of the weakest steering wheel lock pins out there. A quick snatch of the wheel will shear it. Partially why they're some of the most commonly stolen vehicles in the US.
@@ItsGaryy they called onstar to ask about the speed as a joke....
@@blindmime5660What about the Suburban or Normal Yukon (not the Denali)
Has data collection gone too far? Why are we okay with phones and social media collecting our personal info, but not our cars? Or maybe you are fine with it, where do YOU draw the line? I wanna know, tell me what you think!
Also thanks everyone for grammar-checking the title, my bad 😬😬😬
Donut Media What
That’s why we in Europe have GDPR
With online social and searches you are await of it and have more control to block it or avoid it. With your car you are giving up too much of your everyday habits with no control at all. They say you can opt out but I will get that do it anyway since they are not regulated yet. On the other hand if say your movement can be used by police as one more peice of evidence that you commited a murder or ribbed a bank then go for it. Oh...and the bike industry can track the movement of you on your bike now and sale that data too if you have and electric assist bike or participate in phone based training apps.
We shouldn't be, all this spying and censorship is bullshit
My concern is that, if we get to some extreme circumstances, data will be used to treat individuals differently. Like, imagine if your car sends info to your insurance company that you are speeding, raising your particular insurance rates. At the current moment things aren't that bad, but the moment data tracking becomes used as a means to supervise individuals' unique behaviors this all could become quite problematic.
I remember playing a DLC mission in Watch Dogs 2 where there were these new cars that would scan the users Facebook profile and have the more disliked person more likely die in a car crash. Didn’t know it could start becoming reality…
Imagine your cars cameras use a similar AI CZcams uses on live streams to identify legal "prohibited" items. A person carrys to ther car to go to say paintball events, hunting or Olympic training. The AI report is sent in real time to local authorities who's response I am sure will be measured and mostly peaceful.

Is there a VPN for cars? I’m willing to buy one.
My thought is that if youre going to apply a vpn to your car its likely gonna have to be applied to your infotainment system so maybe its possible to apply existing vpns to them but i havent seen anyone do it in practice so im super curious about how thats going to work

Ha tricks on them, my 02 Yukon XL is a base model so it never came with OnStar!
@@hernanaguilarjr7954
maybe not Sat Comm, but you do have an ECU. Think of it as a flight data recorder - for cars. It is recording all sensor outputs + turn signals, lights, braking, speed, rpm... everything - for the last 60 seconds real time.
When you run that stoplight & wipe out a family, cops & attorneys will get that data to prove your guilt (or innocence).
Anything since 1994 (OBDII), and a few from before are doing this.
FYI
Great video, I knew all this already. Also never use the driving tracking stuff insurance companies try to get you to use, to save you money. They are using it to find ways to raise your rates even if you do not have accidents or tickets. Got to love OnStar, charge you monthly for a service and then sell your data to double dip and make money from you. Keep your car dumb and fun.
As someone who works in the field of big data, i can tell you right now to stay away from onstar and similar services.
Also, You should check your phones permissions and system permissions every time they roll out a "security" update, they tend to reset the ones you changed or hide them under different processes.
You have no idea how much data they are collecting through that phone until you see it for yourself...
Then there’s the OnStar calls during a corvette track test...

And this is why I am sticking to driving my 06 STi. It's fast, fun, and doesn't sell me out.
@Dave Micolichek While I don't fully agree with those either, I at least understand what it's in there for. If I cause a massive accident that kills multiple people, that could provide valuable information into what happened, much like a plane's black box. Sometimes it's the only source of the truth in what happened. I don't do anything dumb though so I don't really worry about that since it's not actually sending off any information, and is only really "active" in the event of a crash. What I don't agree with at all though, in any capacity, is my car sending off information at all times that is absolutely not important to anyone except me. My shopping habits, food choices, where I drive to on the weekends, no one needs any of that for any reason.
@Dave Micolichek Exactly. Pretty soon people will be getting nice little pop-up ads on infotainment centers for KFC or McDonald's while using the GPS app and missing an exit. I'm sure that won't lead to any more accidents or anything.
@Dave Micolichek true, but thats no necessarily stealing personal data, thats more like recording the way a car has been driven, along with the ecu which also records throttle positions and recent speeds and the such, but its not spying on you.
@Dave Micolichek it is not quite spying, at least not by definition, its recording, storing driving habits, or and recent high speeds and fuel demand along with throttle positions. The reason why its not "spying" is that we know this things are happening constantly, since the introduction of ECUs and various sensors that's been known, but in no way its listening to your conversations, or weighing you, or knowing what you listen to in the radio, not even knowing your climate control preferences, and using this data to target you in some other way in order to profit and all that being done behind your back, thats spying.. sure ECUs info has been used in courts, but there has been cases that were won due to that information, so that could both be beneficial and incriminating.. spying its only beneficial one way.
That is why i love my 1998 Honda Civic. Does not have a gps, just a plain old radio. Manual locks, manual windows, no radar cruise.

Do a video on how the "Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) cash for clunkers) program negatively affected the auto industry depending on those old cars. 1. Secondary auto parts industry especially shops that refurbashed parts. So many cars were traded in so fast that alternators, engine blocks, heads and such ended up getting crushed instead of saved. Those same parts suppliers lost a lot of there customer base that got new cars instead of continuing to fix there old one. 2. Auto repair business that lived off older cars that did not have the training and equiptment to fix new cars lost potential customers with fewer old cars to fix and no money to upgrade equiptment and train mechanics. 3. Drastically increased the price of older cars for collectors even the common cars or ones that were not collected cars before making say a odd ones like 76 Z28 or even 86 IROC out of reach for the tinkering fast food worker and only available to the wealthy.

I've had my '03 super duty for 10 years and I love the fact it doesn't beep at me when I back up or it only has numbers of the time and radio station on my radio 3 inch screen. But by my own hand I will still be driving it in 10 years mostly because it has the options I want and new vehicles don't have anything close.

We only got recently a system in our new cars here in the EU that does emergency calls in case of a crash. It is mandated by law to be on for new cars sold after a certain year. However due to cost tied to it (consumers don’t pay for the service) most manufacturers only include the mandatory functions to meet requirements and they aren’t getting the data but the government branches that operate the system. Only a few manufacturers do include further functions where they actually get data as it is send to a different (their) server. I have such a car. I‘ve read the manual, it doesn’t state that the car is able and the licensed seller (brands sell the right to sell their brand to companies and those companies aren’t allowed to sell other brands in the same building, even if related like VW and Audi) didn’t know either about it.
I had used a VPN to download the App of the manufacturer to access the data and showed it to them. Only then did they believe me and we went to sit in my car with the chef mechanic and the owner of the dealership, going through a laptop linked to my car. It took us 15minutes to actually find the enhanced abilities of the system and another 15min to activate them.
The system is by default deactivated (the not mandatory parts that share data with the manufacturer) and I had to read some pages (which I did) before being asked if I agree. It was listed in detail what they collect, where it is stored and for how long and even who within the manufacturer has access (quite limited) due to our strict data privacy laws. I had to leave a digital signature which was send to the manufacturer and is stored in the cars computing unit before the laptop received an encryption key to activate the system. As we noticed, it can’t be activated remotely and the activation request takes over 24hrs (I assume they are checked by a human).
After that, I went with the owner into his office and he did call the manufacturers head office (responsible for 3 European countries) why no one was told about the cars functions and the person on the phone was also not aware that the car can do it. Now, 8 months later has a mention of the system appeared on the website (for 3 countries) and that people can ask their dealership to activate it.
I guess if US citizens rally for better data protection, they could also get great service without being unknowingly tracked.
Starts suspecting from my horse.

Deep down into the menus of the idrive with bmw that you can turn that off. Its a sub menu of a sub menu, but you can disable transmission of information from the vehicle.
