Mozilla found the worst privacy violators to be Tesla, Nissan, and Hyundai with information gathered by sensors, microphones, cameras, phones and devices drivers connect to their cars as well as by car apps.
A report by the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation found privacy and security concerns among the top 25 automakers, saying they received failed marks for consumer privacy.
The study found that automakers are collecting more data than necessary, not just how fast or where we drive, but demographics of drivers and passengers. They even went further to say some of the automakers gather deeply personal data, such as sexual activity, immigration status, race, facial expressions, weight, health, and genetic information.
"Researchers found data is being gathered by sensors, microphones, cameras, and the phones and devices drivers connect to their cars, as well as by car apps, company websites, dealerships, and vehicle telematics," wrote Mozilla.Drivers are surprised by the data collection."I never knew they would be tracking me like that.
