Cars are trying to spy on you, and it's only just the beginning | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion focused on how connected cars and roadside cameras are expanding surveillance.

Commenters pointed to automakers and data brokers sharing or selling vehicle data, often with confusing privacy settings.

Examples included Hyundai, Honda, GM, Ford, Nissan, and others, alongside concerns about roadside camera networks like those tied to Verisk.

The debate argued that technical opt-outs are not enough and that stronger laws are needed to limit data collection and sharing.
