True but also entirely irrelevant, this isn’t some unusually nefarious plot or racist agenda at work.

Just plain old capitalism, blind greed over everything. This could have been literally any manufacturer and it would have been neither a surprise nor made a difference

There used to a joke that those OnStar systems would call the cops on you for DUI and every day that is closer to being reality. I don’t condone drinking and driving but the government invasion of privacy is pretty scary too.
