I didn't fancy Nissan before and now even less https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/
So if you buy a Nissan for your teenage kid, is Nissan still allowed to track and share their sexual escapades performed within the vehicle?
Also, how do they know when you're engaged in sexual activity? Heart monitors in the seats? Humidity sensors in the AC unit? Or is it cameras in the cabin? Cause that's a very fine line to walk.
I would imagine it gathers data like that from your phone if/when you connect that to your car. Probably via the integrated health tracking stuff. I imagine Nissan forces you to share all data but maybe it’s possible to opt out or choose what to share?
My phone knows when I have sex? I mean, it's on the nightstand so... maybe, but, how? It's not like we're wearing our watches to bed.
I think it’s more like your health app has the ability to record that data if you put it in there. Just like how it can record your weight if you log your weight every day or how it could record your heart rate if you wear a connected watch which can log that data.
It doesn’t just “know” but I think if you have the data logged that is what it will share.
