Auto companies are selling models loaded with connected car features to the customers, whoever hears the name of these features just gets attracted to these features. But you will be surprised to know that these high-tech features can also become a threat to your privacy, you will also think how?
Some time ago, a report came out in which it was mentioned that these new age vehicles fully loaded with high-tech features keep an eye on every activity of the people.
It was revealed from the report that the vehicles of big electric car manufacturers like Tesla collect data by tracking people’s activities, and then sell the data in the market. For your information, let us tell you that this information was revealed some time ago by a study by Mozilla, the company behind Firefox web browser.
Not just Tesla, other companies are also involved
Not only Tesla, names of brands like Kia, Volkswagen, Renault, Honda, Nissan, Toyota were also revealed in Mozilla’s report. One thing to be noted here is that the vehicles which were studied are from America. In such a situation, it would not be right to say that the vehicles sold in the Indian market also keep an eye on your activities.
How does this ‘game’ work?
Have you ever wondered how this whole game works? If reports are to be believed, sensors, cameras, microphones, connected services etc. provided in the vehicle collect people’s private data.
What to do to avoid it?
If you also want that your data does not get leaked just like that, then never do secret chats in the car. Apart from this, definitely check the permissions etc. in the car infotainment settings, because sometimes there are some settings which record things like audio etc.
