Interesting report on car privacy or lack there of. I wasn’t aware Verizon was pitching you to install an OBDII port device. As a general rule, the onboard diagnostic port is for reading the car’s computer messages and parameters for servicing, and not for having something plugged into them 24/7. And your car’s systems can be damaged by a device that wasn’t properly engineered. And generally, car computers aren’t the best engineered systems, while being very expensive to replace. This all makes me think of the UK where they were passing legislation to get rid of older cars and forcing people to buy newer ones to access London. You can see where this is an integral part of the digital Panopticon being erected around us all.
