Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Which manufacturers offer free Internet connections in their cars?
Its free for them when its sending your info to them.
Which manufacturers do this and in which models?
All of them after about 2020. Are you sealioning or do you live under a rock?
https://www.acg.aaa.com/connect/blogs/5c/auto/how-vehicle-data-is-collected-and-used
Collecting data is one thing. Wirelessly transmitting it to the manufacturer is another.
Which manufacturers have built in 3/4/5G connections for free that transmit data back to them?
This data is all kept on the vehicle unless you then use an app on your phone to send it back to them or a third party, or your car is in an accident and they get the data to investigate.
So again - which manufacturers and which models have built in wireless connections that transmit data back?
Bug off, sealion. You aren't going to accept that telematics antennas exist, therefore you have no idea what you're talking about and can be ignored.
Still haven’t named a single manufacturer or model. Strange.
Wow, you really are a bleedingly ignorant asshole.
The Feds have spied on connected cars for the last 15 years.
As in, real-time uploads being spied upon. Since 2010. Because that is when the tech became truly wide-spread
And cars have been recording and sending data for a long time before that via OnStar, just not in what we view as “real time”.
Those are all ones that have some “onstar” service, or just basic location tracking via ones that have a satellite radio. That’s a far cry from every car made after 2006 lol.
