GoKawiilStudy finds 19 of 21 connected cars send data to third-party trackers
A research collaboration between security researchers and Consumer Reports tested 21 late-model vehicles and 30 companion mobile apps to examine how connected cars share user data. The study found that 19 of the 21 vehicles transmitted traffic to at least one third-party domain, including advertisers and trackers, while seven of the 30 apps sent sensitive identifiers to outside companies.
