Your car is spying on you with your cell phones help.

I found this rather disconcerting when I watched the video. Another reason to keep the 1994 Plymouth Voyager

And some will scream conspiracy theory over the video......

This has been kind of public secret already quite some time. Same with phones if one has internet on whole the time and allow all possible apps to have access to mic, camera, contacts etc.

Another extremely irritating feature in new cars is this driver monitoring. "Beep beep, inattention detected. Beep beep, yawn detected. Beep beep belch detected. Beep beep, 2 hrs driving detected, beep beep pause needed" etc. That's why I love my 2004 Jeep. It does what I tell it to do without disputations.

I think this fits in here.

Alexa, Bixby, etc..

Many have given up their privacy for convenience

Think it boils out to laziness..

Marketing and the government love them..more of these stooges everyday

Millions use Alexa and the like. If it were possible that someone could listen in on me so what? If "they" want to get you "they" will manufacture "evidence".

Alex would make the manufacturing of such that much easier..

It's definitely for the lazy but hey let's let the gov hear everything said in our houses, echo show could even give them eyes into it..all so I don't have to get off the couch..

It's voluntary now...1984 not so much...headed in that direction more than any other imo

Despots have always been trying to find a way to spy their slaves. Nowadays they don't need to even try, as big part of lemmings push all their life into the faecesbooks and other social p*rn platforms just voluntarily.

What about all those lazy people who drive everywhere instead of walking? Giving up personal information to obtain a license. We now have over 500 million guns under private ownership in this country. Keep them, you'll be okay.

This might be the most ok boomer old news post ever!

It never ceases to amaze me when someone figures out that "big brother" is already here and does not need to place a surveillance device in your home / car / workplace to monitor you. Hell we already carry one with the cell phone. The alexa is another but even now some TV devices also monitor you and can operate by voice.

I got an alexa dot a while ago as a reward for some purchase I made. I didn't want it to be n the main household area so I stuck it in the bathroom so I could listen to tunes while getting ready for the day or for bed. I never told it through the app what room it was in. Later I had to reset it due to a power outage and the app showed that alexa had figured out it was in the bathroom on it's own.

I routinely turn off location detection and blue tooth on my phone and use a Garmen GPS in the car / truck on trips.

You can clear the stored recordings for the Amazon echo on hte Amazon servers whenever you want. Of course that means trusting Amazon to do what they say they will. If it gets to the point where the government listens to me on those we have much bigger problems.

Some tv manuals specifically state to not say anything sensitive or private around the tv as it can be monitored and recorded
