What if you use colorful languages with your friends or wife about a certain groups of people and your employer hears about it or any business trade secretes. Yet, we allow this to happen. How and why should Ford have the number to my kids who are minors and track their moves as they drive my car. All the speed sensors, lane corrections and falling asleep warnings can be dangerous should we need to pass on a two lane hwy going over the speed limit. If the car senses you are weaving or falling asleep, it will make you pull over to the side of the road, reset it by turning the car off and start again. The sensors can read speed limit and passing in school zones becomes a no-no. Big brother is now only watching, but he lives with us now. I am started to like my old friend, the Duramax. It doesn't rat me out.

Does your neighbor work for the NSA or need their shiny reflective hat serviced?
This isn't news, Captain pointed it out above. If you want conveniences such as mobile ordering, maps & traffic, streaming music, there's a tradeoff.
There are ways to diminish it but good lord...enough rehashing the cranky old trope.
