For those who read the “New York Times” every day, this is not going to be big news. For those who don’t, this can be startling.
Your beloved automobile knows more about you than perhaps your spouse, children, friends, and business associates.
Yesteryear, you would drive your car and everything that happened in it would remain a secret forever. You could eat a whole Carvel ice cream cake in the front seat and pretend it never happened. You could play hooky from work, and drive around all day, and no one would know the difference.
Today, according to Bill Hanvey, president and chief executive officer of the Auto Care Association, your car “not only knows how much you weigh but also tracks how much weight you gained. Your car also knows how fast you drive, where you live, how many children you have — even financial information. Connect a phone to a car, and it knows who you called and who you texted.”
You can get all of the facts you never realized by clicking on the link below. I warn you in advance, you will never feel the same way about your auto again.
So many of you, who love your car more than you love many other things, may want to sell your wheels immediately and only use a Lyft or Uber.
Oops, that won’t work either. They know everything about you too.
