Acura officially enters the spying on you game
Why is it that inventions nowadays involve intruding on people’s privacy?

Spying is the case today...
Guys...
since you have phone/tablet this is not the case...
this is the game btw security/privacy and usability.
from one hand we want to remotely start stop the car, from the other hand we are thinking about privacy.
Today time is tricky...

This isn't really anything new. Insurance companies have been doing this for years (on a voluntary basis) for drivers who hope to get a discount for their good driving behavior.

This is new because Acura is getting in on the action. My guess is that the development of the app and the backend are outsourced. We have no idea where our data is going or how it is being used.

On the other hand, my Jeep has a Uconnect App that even shows the location of the vehicle at all times. Also, normal stuff like odometer, tire pressures, oil life remaining, fuel level, etc.... Your Acura has the same information. Do you think that data isn't already being uploaded from your car?

You'd have to opt in. I doubt they could collect or use your data othewise.

That is my opinion, and I stand behind it.

One is location, which is bad enough but necessary for a lot of things to operate.
This is far more than mere location. It is speed, acceleration, deceleration, grip Gs in turns, and God knows what else.
All of which can be used against you, and don’t believe it can’t. And if it can, somehow, someplace, it will.

Null and proud of it
Ok. So yo fallow that up, I do carry a smartphone on me and I do leave location services on for weather and maps.
It's not that, I just don't want my driving style to be recorded.

Since covid, I put my phone in airplane mode when I leave the house.

I've always been in the habit of turning off services like GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobil data, etc., unless I specifically need them. Mainly to save battery power. While these services are no longer the battery hogs they used to be, I'm still in the habit of leaving them all off except for the 4G cell service. And, if I'm in an area with poor service, I'll put the phone in airplane mode because constantly pinging for a cell that isn't there still wastes power.
So, most of the time, I only have the cell service running. I know they can get approximate location from that but so what.
This is a dupe thread. Can moderators combine?
