All this would be fine if, and only if you actually owned your car and all the data in it. If you could assume no cell phone somewhere hidden away in the computer. If the data was encrypted with a key you had, not the dealer, not the police, just you.
But we all know that isn't the case. You might have a title to your car, and own almost nothing inside it. Everything is connected these days, which means someone is looking at that data and seeing dollar signs.
I just put electrical tape on the IR sensors. This reminds me of
It's absolutely creepy.
Loyal Moses has a vid on these cameras re Ford patenting tech that won’t let you start the car if your mood is deemed incompatible with driving.
Whatever the case re drive ability, 100% your insurance company will have this data.
Does the car stop complaining if you cover it or is it a constant ear assault? Can you start the car if it’s covered? Is there a workaround to disable it?
ETA: what’s weird is that your parents aren’t aware that most people cover laptop cameras. I’m parent aged, and I do. Many laptops come equipped with a slider device to cover it.
Wdym the car complains about it?
Its there to check if your drunk and or drowsy. So it can not allow the car to turn on if blocked.
Honestly I only think it's fair, to also have the driver be subject to surveillance, when they knowingly expose others to the car's exterior cameras.
I will never buy a car made after 2018.
My 2019 Kia is pretty stripped from "smart" features 🤷♂️
Add a sticker with a face on it?
