Car Subscription Features Raise Your Risk of Government Surveillance, Police Records Show
Briefly

An investigation by WIRED reveals that law enforcement agencies are actively training on how to utilize data from internet-connected vehicles. The trend of automakers charging subscription fees for vehicle features has resulted in enhanced surveillance capabilities for police. As manufacturers refine their digital services, the disparity between public understanding of privacy implications and law enforcement access to data widens. Records suggest a clear strategy by law enforcement to manipulate the data available from cars, driven by vehicle type and subscription status, rather than legal constraints.
Records reviewed by WIRED indicate law enforcement's interest in leveraging data from internet-connected vehicles is growing, raising concerns about individual privacy and surveillance.
Automakers are increasingly pushing consumers to accept monthly and annual fees for pre-installed features, creating pathways for greater government surveillance due to increased connectivity.
