Your car's app telling Big Tech who you are and where you go

[MalwareBytes] A study testing 21 cars from 19 brands and 30 companion apps found connections to advertising and tracking companies, and evidence that some apps shared sensitive personal data.

The results in a nutshell:

* Both vehicles and companion apps contacted third-party domains, including those associated with advertising and tracking.

* 19 of 21 vehicles contacted at least one third party over Wi-Fi.

* 7 of 30 apps transmitted sensitive identifiers to third parties associated with advertising and tracking.

Can a car nowadays be ordered/bought without the 'display' crap?
