I work in fintech and I had glimpses of raw API data that credit agencies, Mastercard and LexisNexis provide (among others). It's crazy detailed. Even just our query increases the query count by one and provides at least ten data points on the why and when.
I'm not surprised that the car manufacturers are selling this data to LexisNexis who in turn sell it to insurance companies.
Wrap the modem in tinfoil.
Not at all surprised by this. I sold my car a decade ago, I just hope motorcycles can stay dumb for longer.
258 pages?! That's half of MS's office format specification!
I will end up living in the woods at this rate.
I desperately wish I could be satisfied living such a life. I have wanted to disconnect completely for a couple of years already. But I know myself and I know I'd be ill-suited for such a life.
Stay outta my tree!
Planet Labs saves an image of the world -- including whatever woods you're referring to -- at 3-meter resolution every day.
We need to start poisoning this data. I don’t think the solution is to cut the wires, I think it’s to send bogus data. Just make it so that no matter how I drive, the data is always overwritten that I traveled 5 miles at 30mph average with no hard stops and no hard accelerations. I only ever make that trip. Wanna base my insurance off that? Go for it.
Anyways I lack the technical ability to do this, but wonder if some enterprising person could hack the obd to constantly overwrite the data here.
Again I want to poison this data. It should be illegal, but it’s not. Companies will charge me more if I block it. So the solution is data poisoning imo.
Incidentally we need to be poisoning ALL data brokers and collectors for these types of things.
i think we should also flood them with so much data it cant keep upnandevendecipher what is really anymore. Same for computer habits. Flood it with random data.

Thank you for sharing!!
I'll take the route of I'm not going to own a car that will tell on me, or I will make that car not report.
It might be nice if auto reviewers included a "privacy rating" for a vehicle based OK whether it broadcasts anything via radio (e.g. cell or tire-pressure systems can be used to identify someone). It's not just auto manufacturers, but anyone who wants to set up a radio monitoring network, if there are unique IDs being broadcast.
I don't know how a reviewer could know whether there's a way for a manufacturer to gather logs during maintenance.
They'll never give a review like that because they need manufacturers to send them more cars to review.
