    Yeah, honestly, all modern cars are full of spyware already, and if something it to spy on me I’d prefer if it was reporting to someone on the other side of the globe vs. some company or government in my jurisdiction. The former may show you more annoying ads, the latter may literally put you in prison. (of course, it is possible that the former will sell your data to the latter, so it’s better to avoid spyware altogether)

      I have excellent news for you about contemporary government spying. Spying on OUR citizens is bad, so we ask the foreign allies for that data.

        I don’t think China would willingly hand over precious data to the US/Canada governments. But it might be willing to sell it.
