Car companies are spying on unsuspecting drivers, secretly selling their personal information to data brokers and insurance companies.
In this episode, we’re taking a look at how they do it.

‘Murica .. leave us alone now.
I really gotta learn how to repair and maintain my old cars now
Its a massive scam keep your old reliable cars defund these scummy corporations
Doesn’t matter if we are aware of this issue or not, they still gonna f*** us in the a**.
Excellent video, Dagogo; but you neglected 3 important topics.
1.. When I buy a new car it belongs to me and only me. I plan to remove all components that I don't want, especially anything designed to spy on me.
2.. What if I buy a used😮 car that has spy gear on it? Will it spy on me?
What about rental cars and borrowed cars?

I've been eyeing up buying a GR Yaris for a while. I'm having second thoughts now. This sucks. I love that little car.
These cars think people are ghost riding. They warn for "concentration loss". They have cameras in the back that spy on traffic and surroundings. The internet and google maps record your voice.
Well. Guess im glad my car is 18 year old. 😅
I'll never own computer/car. All mine are pre 1990 and I'm perfectly happy.
Good video.
Driving a computer that could count everything.. could see and hear everything.. 😅🤣
Wait until you hear about cellphones
nothing like unlock origin would do the trick to block tracking
And if we don't opt in we are going to be paying sky high premiums as it has to be assumed we are bad drivers as they will say they need to cover themselves if they can't get such data on us!
DUHHHHHH STOP PAYING FOR YOUR INSURANCE! also this is no brainer with all computer inside car of course they are do not pay for insurance any longer it's all a scam.
But not in the EU because of privacy laws??
The owner of the Toyota it's sad that Toyota look for excuses not to pay him. He had exceeded speed limit on another time which was not related to the incident. So is Toyota is saying that the car will catch on fire if you exceeded speed limit. Was the car not designed and engineered to go fast and brake had and corner fast on a race track.
I love my car because I can put it in privacy mode and it tracks f**k all – it even doesn’t allow the sat nav to work because the cars gps is off. I just use apple CarPlay, but let’s face it….. apple aren’t exactly perfect. 🤔
Dagogo could do with smarting up and reigning in the cognitive dissonance of making videos swallowing the hype around AI whole and then making these were he realises finally that some companies aren’t that good.
If you’re not critical of these greedy amoral people now then when?!
The best method to solve this data collection issue that I've found is simply to own a 2005 Toyota corolla hatchback. 250,0000kms and still going strong. Even has Bluetooth! (after I installed a Bluetooth adapter…)
Unethical💀💀
ill never buy a car newer than 2015.
Edward Markey is a senator for Massachusetts not California
Must be western car manufacturers. They are all about control. All criminals need full control
Agree they are just finding ways of making money especially for automakers that are finding it hard to compete with other automakers .
Its a smart car, until a woman gets in the driver seat
you say nissan in two ways but still say bee ehm doubleyou
I am glad Byd is not there. Yet, western media always shouts about them collecting personal data while infact they are the ones doing it haha what an irony
Only 85 over? Wtf
Trick: use different emails for car related tasks. Use one email for insurance, one email to register with the authorities and one email to register with the manufacturer.
Build a strategy so the linking bit cannot be traced. GDPR laws meant to safeguard us have failed so in this aspect you need to protect yourself. Make this difficult for data brokers.
Investigate those companies and demand written confirmation that your data has been deleted. It is your right. If denied…sue them.
Thanks for creating this video ❤
I just found out that my Renault is not only sharing data with Insurance companies but also with social media companies like google, facebook and amazon
Tesla hasn’t been found to do this, no idea why you’re mentioning them
Im happy to own my 2012 diesel wagon. It works great. It's fuel efficient, cheap to fix and comfortable and it does not spy on me.
The only modern thing that is missing is google maps, but i can always use my phone. Not planning to change in near future.
Your car is also listening to all your ranting and swearing at cyclists and yaris drivers. I'm willing to bet that will affect your premiums.
This is why i used to refuse the "black box" insurers tried to persuade me to use back in the day, even though it supposedly lowered the premium. Now it's built into the car. I shall be using old bangers for as long as possible.
It’s funny how people are telling me that only Teslas are spying on their drivers! It looks like everyone is doing it now…
Car manufacturers aren’t going to pay for monthly cell phone connections to your car. It’s synching your smartphone to your car that rats you out. Don’t establish a connection between the 2. The data saved by your car that can be downloaded by the dealership during service visits is rarely privacy intrusive. It stores events, like sensor failures and engine diagnostic codes.
How does a car collect data on sexual activity and immigration information?
Machine Learning: ❌
Machine Snitching: ✅
Technology can be hacked what a risk andwrong
What exactly do they mean by being able to detect sexual activity?
Are there ways to disable this collection and transmission of our data?
Somebody can hack and rewrite that code to allow the car to still function while bypassing software. As far as a warranty, dealerships never cover anything anyway so it doesn’t matter. Just go to a local shop or do it yourself when getting maintenance or service. Never link your phone to your car. A combustion engine doesn’t need that software to run.
