      I like how that is the privacy take or break. Apparently Google collecting everything else was fine.

      Just for the record, the only companies that can arbitrarily record audio is Apple and Google and maybe the phone manufacturer. Anything else would need the Microphone permission

        Maybe it’s a distraction for cars constantly listening to you. Their privacy policies are horrid and they don’t have a mic listening feature.

            Sacrificing between modern safety / environmental standards for privacy it all sucks. If only we could have privacy laws.

              Not really. New cars a plastic junk. My old car is much simpler to work on and is a lot less cheap plastic
