The Federal Trade Commission's Office of Technology has issued a warning to automakers that sell connected cars. Companies that offer such products "do not have the free license to monetize people’s information beyond purposes needed to provide their requested product or service," it wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. Just because executives and investors want recurring revenue streams, that does not "outweigh the need for meaningful privacy safeguards," the FTC wrote.

I'm predicting, like every other industry is doing to every other regulatory agency, they'll be suing all the way to the Supreme Court challenging the FTC's regulatory authority. :sigh:

My dream is that we get the senate and the house with good margins and expand the SCOTUS before a lot of these get there. Pipe dream I know.

I'm with you on that.
