Consumer Reports study finds car data may be shared with tech giants

A Consumer Reports investigation last year revealed your car may be collecting data about how you drive.

Now, a new study using Consumer Reports' own vehicles shows where some of that data is going, and you might be surprised how it could be connected back to you.

But unbeknownst to you, your car and its connected apps may be double agents, spying on you and sending what they learn to some of the world's biggest tech companies.

Several automakers told CR that drivers opt in and that some apps take users to external websites that can collect data.

Check your automaker's website or connected app to opt out of data sharing or delete your data.
