"Watchdog Report Reveals Cars' Data Collection Comparable to Big Tech"

A report by Mozilla reveals that car manufacturers are collecting and selling sensitive personal information about auto owners, with data collection practices on par with tech companies. The report highlights the lack of regulations in the US compared to Europe, leading to the unchecked collection and trade of personal data. Car manufacturers track a wide range of information, including employment history, browsing habits, location data, and even genetic information. Most manufacturers admit to selling customer data, while some have lower standards for sharing information with law enforcement. The report calls for policymakers and regulators to address the privacy concerns surrounding car data collection.
