Your car may be recording your texts – and selling your driving data

Your vehicle isn’t just a machine anymore.

But it raises a question consumers should be asking: What information about my driving is sitting in a consumer report that I have never seen?

But that doesn’t answer the bigger question: How much data is necessary, who receives it, and what happens to it afterward?

And they shouldn’t have to discover years later that information generated by their own driving became valuable to another company.

The question isn’t whether connected cars collect data.
