If you buy a new car from the dealer presumably somewhere in the fine print it gives them permission to do this. But if you buy the same car used from an individual, how does the car company still retain the right to spy? It seems like this must be breaking some sort of privacy laws.


Usually this stuff is covered in the owner's manual.

When you reset the car you might also have to agree on the main nav.

but yeah, doesn't always cover every drive.

I remember on old nissan leaf, you had to agree to telematics every drive.


yeah exactly, this is totally ungoverned territory and has to be discussed a lot, a lot more...
