KingGordon comments on US judge rules: if you can't prove damages, car-makers can continue to intercept and record customers' mobile phone activity.

New car is still connected and is monitoring your driving habits, whether you wear a seatbelt or not, possibly recording your conversations, and even keeping track of your weight with the sensors in the seats.

And monitoring your location, don't forget about that. You can tell a lot about a person just by seeing where they go every day.

In my region, where public transport doesn't exist much at all, if you don't drive, you might not eat or work (the lucky few work remotely, but not all).

i'm sorry but are you commenting this for any reason other than to make yourself feel better about owning a car? i see people doing this all the time and i don't get what other reason there would be to bring it up as the immediate response to comments about going car-free

yes, obviously you can't live without a car if you need the car to live! but millions and millions of people would actively enjoy life more without a car.
