Cars Suck Up Data About You. Where Does It All Go? by John R Quain via @nytimes

Cars have become rolling listening posts. They can track phone calls and texts, log queries to websites, record what radio stations you listen to - even follow you and tell when you are breaking the law by exceeding the speed limit.

Something that we see to have accepted as normal but do we really know what happens to the data and how it is used?  I think this is a question that needs to be investigated further.  We are used to ticking boxes and giving explicit permission for our data to be shared and used - how is that done (if it actually is) for our cars in this increasingly connected world?
