Nearly all 19 car brands send driver data to third parties (Northeastern/CR)

Automated excerpt

A Northeastern University and Consumer Reports study of 21 vehicles across 19 brands found that nearly every automaker sends driver data to outside companies — precise GPS for every trip, braking and acceleration, even in-cabin camera footage. Collected data spans precise GPS per trip, speed/braking/acceleration, seatbelt use, infotainment usage, seat-sensor biometrics, and in-cabin camera footage. The product isn't the data; the product is the device.
