The short answer is YES. In our latest video, we dive into the dark reality of the "automotive surveillance complex" and how modern connected cars have become a total privacy nightmare
.
Automakers like GM, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, and Tesla are collecting a shocking amount of data every time you get behind the wheel. They track your speed, hard braking, acceleration, and precise location
. But it goes much deeper—according to research by the Mozilla Foundation, major car brands can collect highly intimate details from the devices you connect to your car, including your immigration status, race, weight, genetics, and even your sexual activity
!
Where does all this data go? Manufacturers are funneling your driving habits to massive data brokers like LexisNexis and Verisk
. These brokers create detailed "risk profiles" that insurance companies use to hike up your premiums—or even deny you coverage altogether—without you ever getting into an accident
.
And it’s not just insurance companies. Police and law enforcement can access this data, too. Using forensic extraction tools like Berla's iVe software or through geofence warrants, investigators can pull your call logs, text messages, and location history directly from your car's infotainment system
.
Watch the full video to learn how your "computer on wheels" is turning your daily commute into massive corporate profits
. Plus, discover the actionable steps you can take right now to check your LexisNexis consumer report, opt out of data sharing, and fight back to protect your privacy
