This is good news, hopefully the FTC actually does something.

    Imagine spending good money on a product and then some creep is able to track your every move, collect that data and then sell it some other creep.

        You can put your phone in a Faraday bag.

        How am I going to do that to my car :(

          In steps, and you kinda drive onto it

          Not great for mobile operation, however 😬

        Cell phones don’t cost tens of thousands of dollars and have easy ways to get around tracking if you’re really concerned. While I can avoid certain apps on my phone or install a different os, doing something similar for new cars is currently impossible apart from tearing it apart to find and unplug the modem.
