I just want to say that I'm so happy that people are taking notice of privacy concerns in cars

Mozilla released their studies, and I’m seeing a growing number of posts on the Internet about cars and the privacy nightmare they entail. I remember how this issue wasn’t talked about earlier because “just buy an older car” was still prevalent. I’m so happy that people are taking notice. Thank you to this community and Mozilla for the work they are putting in!

That community completely ignores reality for millions billions of people that absolutely need a car to live a life in the thousands of cities that don’t have adequate public transportation and 100% of the rural areas in the world.

I don’t think they ignore it, they’re just not happy about it.

They are fighting for better transportations for them so, I don’t think they ignore them. They are very aware of them and very keen on improving their lives conditions.

Multiple billions no. There’s 1.4 billion cars after a casual google, and considering how many people have cars as a convenience or multiple cars I think it might be closer to a single billion people need cars.
