I believe the data mining for insurance is opt in for most if not all EVs at least currently. As for collecting your data in general? Most do that but you could always just unplug the cell modem.
At first I thought this was old news due to the PS3 LBP security issues but now I'm seeing it's affecting the PS4 as well. This sucks so much and it's even more a shame that Sony will use sackboy as a mascot and you can't even play the games sackboy came from to their fullest anymore.
Yeah I've noticed ai generated garbage articles more and more recently on search. Wish that they could be filtered out and if anything Google should be incentivized to do that because if you're training ai models on ai generation then it's not gonna be good for the end product.
The biggest issue here is there's only one thing in that list I'd consider a subscription and that's the data connectivity. Especially in a Tesla where there's no option to have Android auto or apple carplay then the only ways you can stream audio would be through Bluetooth so no options to change anything other than skip and replay the songs in a playlist. I don't particularly mind there being a one time cost for most of those features even though they're ridiculously expensive but the worst of it is on Ford, GM and Stalantis.
Those 3 manufacturers (and maybe more? I'm not sure) have subscriptions for their self driving functions which are included in the car and already paid for. These functions are processed on the car so this is nothing more than a digital lock to features that are already included in the car price.
Does this update cover the new issue where the keyless cars can be broken into?
