Toyota and Hyundai pose more privacy risk than phones

An article reveals that major automobile companies such as General Motors, Toyota, and Hyundai are collecting and trading sensitive user data, including driving habits, location, weight, age, and voice tone, through smart vehicle systems and onboard cameras. These practices have led to hefty fines, such as a $12.75 million penalty imposed on General Motors in California for selling data to insurance companies without users' knowledge, posing a significant threat to privacy. The data collected from vehicles is more sensitive and diverse than phone data, encompassing details about driving behavior, psychological state, and even ethnicity, with users having limited options to prevent data collection. As smart vehicle technologies and sensors become more advanced, the privacy crisis is expected to worsen, especially since Western governments have already begun taking measures to protect data, while the Arab region remains largely unaware of or indifferent to these risks for now.
