Cars Collecting Driver Data Raise Privacy Concerns

Modern cars are collecting drivers' confidential information, including location, driving style, and even facial expressions, which is then sold to insurance companies, potentially increasing premiums. A study by the Mozilla Foundation ranked cars poorly for privacy, and a new law in America mandating infrared cameras may increase risks to biometric data. Experts warn car companies are building a 'data empire' under the guise of safety, and protecting user privacy remains a challenge due to a lack of strong laws.
