I used to think of my car as just a tool to get from point A to point B. But after this conversation, I can't help but see it as something else entirely, a powerful data collection device that knows far more about me than I realized. From where I go and who I text to how I drive and even what's on my phone, today's vehicles are gathering a staggering amount of personal information. In this episode, I talk with Andrea Amico, the founder of Privacy4Cars. Andrea is one of the leading voices in automotive data privacy and someone who's spent years uncovering the hidden ways cars collect, store, and share our information. He breaks down how connected cars work, what's actually being tracked, and why it matters not just for your privacy, but for your safety and finances too. We get into everything from rental car risks and data left behind when you sell a car, to how automakers and third parties might be profiting off your data without your knowledge. If you've ever paired your phone with a vehicle or assumed your texts disappear when you disconnect, this episode is going to change the way you think about driving and how to take back control. Show Notes: [01:28] Andrea started Privacy4Cars because cars collect a lot of data. There were zero protections for privacy and security. He's dedicated to turning your car into a more private space and giving you more choice, understanding, and control. [02:25] We talk about when cars started collecting data. OnStar started about 25 years ago. Things really began to evolve when Bluetooth and navigation became common. [03:12] Things really exploded with modern telematics which is like putting a cell phone inside your car that calls home all the time. The average car collects around 25 GB of data per day. [04:08] We talk about the type of data that is collected by cars from GPS to having your phone collected and the car even knowing your weight. [05:26] The sensors in your car know exactly how you drive. [06:46] Informed consumers are better off. These data collecting policies are usually hidden in the car manufacturers privacy policies. [08:46] You can find your car's privacy policy at Vehicle Privacy Report. [10:21] The goal is to make the car manufacturer's behavior visible to consumers, because that's the way to drive better company behavior. [11:26] When you rent a car and when you sell a car, your car is like a giant unencrypted hard drive that contains your data. [12:06] We should wipe the data in our cars the same way we wipe the data in our phones when we replace them. [13:05] You can find a tool to help remove data from your car at Privacy4Cars. [14:21] We talk about what rental cars get from your connected phone.  [17:24] Found data can be used in targeted spear phishing attacks. [19:18] Most cars since 2017 have a SIM card. If a prior owner consented to data collection, that data is still being collected when you take over the car. [22:15] Ford estimated that they would make $2,000 per car per year from data services. [24:17] It's common for cars to even have a camera that looks at you. In a few years it might be common for vehicles to monitor for things like intoxication. [26:56] Organizations creating standards like the Future of Privacy Forum. [29:09] Cars have an EDR electronic data recorder. It's like a black box for when an accident happens. [34:05] Delete data when you buy, rent, or sell a car. Opt out if you can. [36:33] Think about your car just like your computers and your phone. [37:15] Andrea shares a story about how an ex-spouse was able to duplicate her key. The dealer wanted $1,000 to reset her car. [40:23] Parting advice includes looking up your car's VIN at Vehicle Privacy Report. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

May 31, 2025 Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Novelist and Life Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Saturday, May 31, 2025, and this is episode #6 in Series 2025. This episode is titled, “It's All about Control!"What's all about control? The events we see going on in the world today.Our world is fast moving toward the rise of the AntiChrist and his global dictatorship. Everything is being set up for the establishment of the Beast system and, sad to say, most of the world is clueless.What about you? Are you clueless, too? If so, listen to this podcast to the very end so that you can be prepared for what lies ahead in the very near future. You've very likely heard of the accelerated move toward the digitalization of our world, including the financial, medical, and social segments of society. Digital currency is making major head-roads in Europe, with the soon establishment of the digital Euro by 2026, if not before. The European Central Bank has stated that it "hopes to have a political deal on the digital Euro by early 2026." I've posted the article containing this quote under "Sources Cited" in the show notes.In another article, posted by Accenture and titled "The Digital Euro: A strategic step toward Europe's monetary sovereignty?," the author explains that "cash is rapidly losing ground" and being replaced by a digital system that will purportedly make monetary transactions safer and more convenient.Pay attention to the words "safer" and "more convenient." You will be hearing and seeing those words more and more as the world becomes completely digitalized. Under the guise of safety and convenience, the New World Order is setting up a system of control over the entire world population. Eventually, as they proclaim, "You will have nothing and be happy."Why will you have nothing?Because your freedom is being gradually stolen from you, under your very nose. And you are very likely unaware that it's happening. What looks like a "safer and more convenient" way of living is actually leading to tyranny. Lest you think I am being far-fetched and alarmist, consider this:__Surveillance cameras are everywhere, watching our every move. One writer noted that the United States has more surveillance cameras per person than any other country in the world. (https://theconversation.com/surveillance-is-pervasive-yes-you-are-being-watched-even-if-no-one-is-looking-for-you-187139)__More and more countries are requiring more and more identification processes—like iris scanning, facial scanning, palm scanning, and on and on—in order to travel, purchase, and do things we used to do without such scanning.__When you're online, websites use ad-trackers and third-party cookies to gather information about you. These ad-trackers and third-party cookies are stored in your browser and follow you around from site to site, enabling advertisers to follow you around as well.__These days, surveillance is the name of the game in healthcare as well. A recent article, titled "AI may be listening in on your doctor's appointment," raises a red flag on another aspect of stolen freedom. (https://endtimeheadlines.org/2025/05/ai-may-be-listening-in-on-your-doctors-appointment/)__If you wear a device to monitor your health, such as a FitBit or SmartWatch, you are being surveilled. It has been noted that there is an eerie resemblance between a FitBit and the ankle bracelets people wear when being monitored by a court of law. The analogy reminds me of the heavy chain prisoners used to have to wear around their ankles.__Perhaps the biggest tracking culprit of all is your cell phone. GPS gives your location to maps and weather apps. WiFi and Bluetooth can pinpoint your phone's location. Do you use gaming apps? Then your information is being tracked. Do you own a late-model car? Then very likely your car employs telematics, such as OnStar or Bluelink to track your location.

Will the Science Prove Karen Read's Innocence? Attorney Bob Motta Thinks So In the premiere segment, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta cut straight to the most decisive element of the Karen Read case: the forensic evidence. According to Motta, this case isn't about drama, hearsay, or even Karen Read's bizarre behavior. It's about whether the physical evidence proves she hit John O'Keefe with her Lexus — and right now, the science says she didn't. Motta places his trust in independent experts — specifically the ARCCA engineers hired by the Department of Justice, who testified that the damage to the Lexus and the injuries to O'Keefe do not match a typical vehicle-pedestrian strike. In other words, no broken bones, no directional wounds, no blood patterns to suggest a hit-and-run. And this testimony, unlike Proctor's or McCabe's, doesn't change. It's science. Tony counters with a key question: what happens if new vehicle data does emerge — like black box logs or OnStar records — that shows a collision at the time of death? Motta admits that would be damning. But he's not holding his breath. If prosecutors had a “smoking gun” like that, he says, they'd have led with it. This episode explores the growing tension between Karen Read's self-incriminating statements and the cold, hard science that seems to contradict them. It's the ultimate courtroom clash: Karen's words vs. the data.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1031: Today we're talking about Trump's possible easing of auto tariffs ahead of a Michigan trip, GM's courtroom defense over driver data privacy, and why e-commerce might be losing its edge as shoppers crave more fun and surprise.As he prepares to visit Michigan for the 100-day mark of his second term, President Trump is signaling potential changes that could ease the auto industry's tariff burdens.The administration is considering adjustments to tariffs on imported auto parts and may exempt automakers from certain steel and aluminum duties.The policy shift, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, appears aimed at supporting domestic manufacturers and suppliers.Proposed changes would address the “stacking” of tariffs—where multiple levies apply to the same imported vehicle—by potentially eliminating overlapping duties.The potential relief follows a joint letter from major automakers, including GM and Toyota, urging the administration to reconsider.“This deal is a major victory for the president's trade policy,” said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, “by rewarding companies who manufacture domestically.”General Motors is facing a wave of lawsuits accusing the automaker of secretly collecting and selling drivers' behavioral data—claims GM is now trying to dismiss with a bold new legal argument.The lawsuits began in March 2024, alleging GM, OnStar, and data firms like LexisNexis shared driver behavior data without proper consent.GM discontinued its Smart Driver program in April 2024 and ended partnerships with LexisNexis and Verisk after public backlash.Now, GM argues the data collection didn't violate privacy because driving behavior on public roads isn't protected under privacy laws.“Driving data includes vehicle location, routes, braking events, and speed—all occurring on public thoroughfares,” GM said in its dismissal filing.“Roadways are public, and these behaviors are observed by all,” GM stated, citing precedent that public conduct doesn't carry a reasonable expectation of privacy.A new study from Criteo reveals that the digital checkout rush might be fading, with consumers craving the discovery and delight of in-store shopping.More than 75% of consumers say e-commerce is functional—but not fun—with 29% calling it a chore.Shoppers miss the thrill of the unexpected: 36% long for the “surprise finds” that often come in-store.A majority find online shopping overwhelming (78%) and lonely (79%), with only half describing it as enjoyable.While data privacy remains a concern, 43% of consumers are open to sharing data for a more tailored experience.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Data Privacy, Security, and Tech Trends in Early 2025 1. What was the scale of healthcare data breaches in the U.S. during 2024? In 2024, the U.S. healthcare sector experienced a massive surge in cyberattacks, with approximately 720 reported breaches compromising an estimated 186 million user records. This exposed a vast amount of sensitive information, including names, contact details, Social Security numbers, and medical histories. This is approximately 56% of the US population. 2. How did UnitedHealth handle its data breach notification, and what are the implications for affected individuals? UnitedHealth, specifically its subsidiary Change Healthcare, attempted to obscure its data breach notification webpage from search engines, making it difficult for the over 100 million affected individuals to learn about the incident. They used a “noindex” tag to keep it out of Google, burying the story of their breach. This led to widespread confusion and further distrust of the company. It also highlights how companies can use search engine optimization to hide breaches by burying the real stories. 3. What is GeoSpy, and what privacy concerns does it raise? GeoSpy is an AI tool that can accurately predict the location of photos based on features within the images, such as vegetation, architecture, and spatial relationships. Originally available to the public, it's now marketed to law enforcement and government agencies. This technology raises serious privacy concerns, as it can be used by stalkers or other malicious actors to geolocate individuals from publicly available photos. The tool is now available to law enforcement and enterprise users, and some versions of it are more powerful than what was offered to the public. 4. What restrictions were placed on General Motors (GM) regarding the sale of driving data? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) banned GM and its subsidiary OnStar from selling customer geolocation and driving behavior data for five years. This action followed an investigation that revealed GM had been collecting and selling detailed driving information to insurance companies without obtaining explicit consent from vehicle owners. 5. What is the UK's new digital wallet app, and what types of documents will it support? The UK is launching a digital wallet app called GOV.UK Wallet, allowing citizens to store government-issued documents on their smartphones. Initially supporting veteran cards, it will expand to include driver's licenses in late 2025, with plans to add passports, marriage certificates, and benefit documents by 2027. 6. What security risks are associated with failed startups and "Sign in with Google" features? Former employees of failed startups using "Sign in with Google" features are vulnerable to data breaches. Hackers can exploit abandoned company domains and the associated Google login systems to access sensitive information stored in business software like Slack, Notion, and HR systems, including social security numbers. This vulnerability is particularly relevant to startups that used the ""Sign in with Google"" function. 7. What challenges did Amazon employees face following the mandatory return-to-office policy? Amazon's mandate for a full return to the office resulted in significant challenges for employees, including a shortage of desks and meeting rooms, overcrowded parking facilities, and an increase in workplace thefts. The policy has also been criticized for forcing employees into video calls that could have been easily conducted remotely, and some employees reported that there is a lack of trust amongst colleagues. 8. What are the $TRUMP and $MELANIA coins, and what controversies are surrounding them? Donald and Melania Trump introduced meme coins named $TRUMP and $MELANIA on the Solana blockchain. These coins quickly gained significant value, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and market manipulation.

Shoot us a Text.We're wrapping up the week so we can hit NADA running. Today, we cover how GM has settled a case with the FTC about collection and selling of data collected through Onstar. Plus, EV registrations are rising amid concerns that President Trump will get rid of the IRA tax credit, and lessons learned from the 2025 National Retail Foundation Big Show.Show Notes with links:General Motors has reached a settlement with the FTC over allegations that it sold customer driving data without their consent. The FTC alleged that GM's OnStar service collected precise geolocation and driving behavior data, which was then sold to third parties, including consumer reporting agencies. GM failed to clearly disclose to consumers that it collected and sold this data.The FTC claims that GM's enrollment process for the OnStar Smart Driver feature was "confusing and misleading."GM has discontinued the Smart Driver program and ended its third-party telematics relationships with LexisNexis and Verisk.Under the settlement, GM is banned from disclosing this type of consumer data to consumer reporting agencies for five years.The company will also take steps to provide greater transparency and choice to consumers over the collection, use, and disclosure of their connected vehicle data."Respecting our customers' privacy and earning their trust is deeply important to us," GM said.Electric vehicle registrations saw a significant jump in November as consumers rushed to take advantage of automaker discounts and secure the $7,500 federal tax credit, which may be repealed under President-elect Donald Trump.EV registrations surged 21% year-over-year to 109,120 vehicles in November.Battery-electric vehicles captured 8.3% of the U.S. light-vehicle market, up from 7.4% a year earlier.Automakers, fearing a drop in EV demand if incentives are repealed, offered deep discounts and lease deals.Tesla led the market with 46,225 registrations, while GM brands saw the most growth, particularly Chevrolet.The National Retail Foundation 2025 Big Show in New York brought together tens of thousands of retail professionals to discuss the landscape of shopping, technology, and consumer behavior. Key themes included adaptability, embracing failure, and the growing role of AI-driven dynamic pricing in retail strategies.Best Buy CEO Corie Barry emphasized "adaptability over perfection," noting that retailers must balance both in-store and digital experiences to remain competitive.Amazon's Doug Herrington echoed Jeff Bezos's sentiments on learning to fail, saying, "If you get too good at avoiding failure, innovation becomes nearly impossible."Macy's CEO Tony Spring rejected the idea that department stores are dead, instead calling them a "curated marketplace" that can flex with shifting consumer demand.Target's Rick Gomez praised the resilient, resourceful, and intentional American conHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

On Star is tracking Drivers for Insurance Companies. Welcome to Bidenville.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, we explore a range of fascinating developments at the intersection of AI, law enforcement, labor regulations, automotive privacy, and startup funding. First, we take a look at Microsoft's new Phi-3 family of compact yet powerful language models that bring advanced AI capabilities to smartphones and edge devices. Next, we examine Axon's "Draft One" tool that uses AI to automatically generate police reports from body cam audio, aiming to reduce paperwork and increase community engagement time for officers. We also break down the FTC's groundbreaking decision to ban non-compete agreements nationwide, a move poised to boost worker mobility and entrepreneurship. Shifting gears, we investigate troubling reports accusing GM of tracking drivers' behavior through its OnStar system and sharing that data with insurers without proper consent, underscoring the growing privacy concerns surrounding connected cars.

On this episode, Braxton Critcher explores pressing issues within the automotive industry. Guest Tara Topel addresses the glaring disparity in gender representation, noting the mere 2% of women employed as technicians despite making up over half of the U.S. population. Topel emphasizes the need for hiring based on skill and qualifications rather than gender. The episode also covers General Motors facing litigation over the unauthorized collection and sharing of driver data, which could lead to a cascade of similar lawsuits. Furthermore, Braxton discusses TPG's upcoming acquisition of Classic Collision and the anticipation for the National Automotive Service Task Force's general meeting. Follow us on social media!

Pour a glass and nestle in as we welcome the legendary Zach Freeman to the show, swirling a robust 2021 Earthquake Zin between tales of early sports podcasting glory and tech nostalgia. Our palates dance with the notes of blackberry and huckleberry, while laughter ensues over the surprise presence of huckleberry—yes, huckleberry—in our glasses. Zach takes us on a stroll down memory lane to the days of MySpace hustles and those unforgettable AOL Instant Messenger dings, capturing the essence of a bygone digital era. The conversation takes a sharp turn as we sift through the murky waters of data privacy, with TikTok's current debates at the forefront. We dissect the ethical quandaries of insurance companies and data sharing, while pondering the cultural ramifications and national security concerns of TikTok's Chinese ties. It's a candid debate that balances the scales of capitalistic liberties with the weight of international policy and America's media stance against China's restrictive practices. Shifting gears to close, we delve into a South Florida man's insurance predicament, a cautionary tale of OnStar's unsolicited data sharing. This opens the door to a broader conversation about the automotive industry's handling of our personal information, set against the backdrop of European and Californian data protection laws. We wrap up with a peek into AI's expanding role across industries, speculating on its potential to reshape creativity and generational dynamics, all while keeping the chat light with local business quips and the latest consumer recalls. Join us for these vibrant discussions, where the wine flows as freely as the banter.

This episode took a wild turn early, and somehow we bantered on about Triathlons, Iron Mans, Incredible athletic feats, David Goggins, our childhoods, and Drake's month long van trip across the western United States. That conversation sparks us talking about maps, how people used to get around without the internet, MapQuest, how elite the Blackberry phone was before iPhone, using OnStar, landline telephones, Drake hauling his 100 lb. tv with him to play video games at friends houses. A crazy trip to BestBuy in 2010, playing outside, building forts, what year we would like to go back to in our childhood. Blasting steroids, Drake's life expectancy, his disdain for Europe, and whole lot more.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!

Kelly and Lizz are back with riveting stories from their wildly interesting lives including a towel closet cleaning hack from Kelly and a nursery set up update from Lizz.  CEO is today's millennial word of the day. Gen Zers might say Kelly and Lizz are the CEOs of automotive podcasts.  Kelly's driveway dump is full of influencers and inspiration. She recently purchased a new cookbook by listener Little Bits of Real Food called Unbelieve-a-Bowl and she's never wanted to cook so many recipes from one book. Toasted Table is bringing simple and delicious food inspo to Kelly's kitchen, too, with her daily toast posts. Kelly has also found a couple of solid reasons to shop for her spring wardrobe: Kathleen Post's iconic capsule wardrobe share and Merrick White's four-ways-to-wear content.  Lizz's purchase of two Pink Blush maternity dresses for her baby shower kick of the last three transactions segment. Kelly is sprucing up her home, even if they might move, with a new entryway light fixture, is all about the Abercrombie dad shorts, and has mixed reviews on Thrive Market. Lizz is ordering another puppy bumper and raising awareness about this brilliant product for little dogs. Today's taste drive is the Jimmy John's Capresé Salami Pesto 16 inch sandwich. Between the balsamic vinaigrette and pesto this sandwich doesn't even need the (FANTASTIC) Kickin' Ranch to be crave-worthy.  In industry news, General Motors will stop forcing $1500 OnStar subscriptions on their Buick, GM, and GMC buyers. Kelly says way to go — there's no benefit other than more money for the manufacturers in these subscriptions. Kelly and Lizz are both excited to hear about VW's Scout brand building EV pickups and SUVs in the US with production starting in 2026. Listener Megan brings us a ditch the drive-through that is perfect for when you're craving something light and fresh — like Chipotle. Perfect for spring, this Greek chicken bowl is sure to please with jasmine rice, tzatziki dip, chicken, cucumber, roma tomatoes, and fresh slices of lemon for a tangy squeeze. → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message!
