"Privacy Concerns Arise as Cars Become Data-Harvesting Machines"

As cars get smarter, they're also collecting more data about us. In a recent episode of The New York Times's The Daily, technology reporter Kashmir Hill talks about how this can affect our privacy.

Kashmir looked into this issue. She found that modern cars are like computers on wheels, gathering information about our driving habits. But what happens to that data?

Kashmir met Christine Delta Ogden, who had a troubling experience. Her ex-husband used the car's app to track her, even after they separated. This shows how connected cars can be misused, especially by people who want to control or harm others.

But it's not just individuals. Kashmir found that car companies are also sharing data without asking. This can affect things like insurance rates, and it's raising questions about our privacy.

People are upset about this, and some are even suing car companies. But there's still a lot we don't know about how our car data is being used.

As Kashmir says, while connected cars are convenient, they also come with risks. Who controls our car data, and how do they use it? It's a question we'll keep exploring as technology evolves.
