Here's the original article that every other news article you see is using: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-on-wheels-every-car-brand-reviewed-by-mozilla-including-ford-volkswagen-and-toyota-flunks-privacy-test/
My question is what can be done about it?
Mozilla started a petition, sign that.
Look up your vehicle's company's privacy policy. If there is a way to opt out of some of the data collection, do it.
Not much else can be done other than protests, lobbying, etc. to make your politicians make laws regulating the data cars can collect.
Start a petition to enact a statewide data privacy law, if you're state allows for citizen-initiated ballot measures.
