Your Car Could Be Spying On You

There’s a great deal of information that your car knows about you, as the Washington Post learned after the paper hacked the infotainment computer inside a 2017 Chevy Volt.

The vehicle copied and stored personal data from a smartphone including call records, contacts, even photos, as well as the precise locations where the person had visited.

Recreating the test with a Chevrolet infotainment computer bought off eBay, an automotive technology expert was able to build a profile of that car’s former owner.

According to the Post , GM would not reveal what the vehicle was collecting and there are no federal regulations protecting drivers from having the data sent to the automaker.
