It’s almost like having basic appliances connected to the internet is a bad idea. Outbound sensor data? Yeah, ok, maybe. But inbound commands?

In this respect at least basically all automakers are the same. They collect your data, they give it to the government, and they sell it to anyone who can pay.

Considering how much damage Google et al do, I legitimately wonder whether China could even do worse, and I’m not even a tankie.
