Polk County man sues Toyota over in-car data privacy and tracking

A Polk County man, Phil Siefke, sues Toyota and its Connected Analytics unit, alleging telematics collect and sell highly detailed driving data (location, speed, braking, seatbelt status, and even image/voice data) to third parties like Progressive; a judge ordered arbitration, but Siefke continues pursuing a path for a class-action and stronger privacy protections.
