How do we agree to the surveillance by the car manufacturer?
I recently bought a new car and looked for any hidden privacy concessions in the documents. Saw none. I was also never prompted by the car for any of it (I never connected my phone to t he car).
And yet I am quite certain that they hoodwinked me.

Metadata is collected everywhere all the time for use for consumerism purposes. Bought and sold as the need arises. It not gathered to be able to reverse engineer to know that "I" drive a gay purple bentley drop top. Even governments collect metadata. That is more worrisome, because that is about a different kind of control.
