Tesla, Waymo, Android Auto -- Privacy and Security Fears?

2021 is the year for new car technology from Tesla, Waymo, MobileEye, Cruise. Tesla and Waymo in particular have major features being released to finally put self-driving in the mainstream.

Additionally car manufacturers are adding Android Auto to new models.

Many features can now be controlled from a phone app. A Tesla car can be summoned by phone app.

With these new technologies, are we creating more privacy and security risks? Are we exposing ourselves to 24/7 tracking and surveillance by third parties? Are our cars no susceptible to hacks?

Are there particular technologies that are more likely to destroy our privacy than others? I will compare the approaches of Tesla vs. Waymo (Google/Alphabet). And discuss Android Auto.

YubiKey

I recommend using a security key such as the YubiKey, rather than the most common 2FA, SMS text message or a one-time code that is sent to your phone. For a limited time, use code ROB10 for $10 off any purchase of a YubiKey 5 Series key at https://yubi.co/Rob-YT. Promotion ends Dec. 31, 2020.

I'm the Internet Privacy Guy. I'm a public interest technologist. I'm here to educate. You are losing your Internet privacy and Internet security every day if you don't fight for it. Your data is collected with endless permanent data mining. Learn about a TOR router, a VPN , antivirus, spyware, firewalls, IP address, wifi triangulation, data privacy regulation, backups and tech tools, and evading mass surveillance from NSA, CIA, FBI. Learn how to be anonymous on the Internet so you are not profiled. Learn to speak freely with pseudo anonymity. Learn more about the dangers of the inernet and the dangers of social media, dangers of email.

I like alternative communication technology like Amateur Radio and data communications using Analog. I'm a licensed HAM operator.
