🔌 Slate Auto's electric truck ships with no modem at all, and that's the privacy story.

The startup's $24,950 EV pickup has no built-in cellular connection, so the company physically can't track your location, remote-access the car, or pull data from it. A phone app handles settings and charging info, but it only works standing next to the truck, and Slate says app data is opt-in and never sold. Their words: "We collect data to make ownership better, not to turn the owner into the product."

The context matters. Mozilla's 2023 review called cars the worst product category it has ever reviewed for privacy, with 84% of brands sharing or selling driver data. The FTC banned GM from selling driver data in 2025 after OnStar collected location every 3 seconds. Meanwhile Ford published a patent application for in-car cameras that can read lips and facial expressions.

A policy can be rewritten next quarter, but hardware that doesn't exist can't be switched on. That's the durable part. One caveat from the EFF: the app data policy can still change as the company scales.

I wonder why YouTube recommended me a 1989 episode of #BBC #Crimewatch - turns out there was a 1982 #GolfGTI used as a getaway vehicle in one of the segments (multiple armed #robberies on train stations in South #London)

There was a lot more #crime then compared to today, much of it seemed to be fuelled by rampant inequality (as well as #cars being way less secure than today, and a lot more #cash being handled by businesses)

in 2025 someone in same part of London had their Mk1 Golf (just normal model, but now a #ClassicCar) nicked, but it was all over Facebook and multiple folk saw it and called #Metpol - thieves soon got nicked and he got his car back..

WTF was this #influencer and his mate doing driving all the way from the North to #Suffolk just to #hoon in a car park? Surely there are car parks up there as well, or is he paranoid of the local old bill in his area having attracted too much attention by his bad #driving ?

I think the sentence is fair - the driving ban is going to be far more of a punishment for someone who likes #cars than 9 months in #jail (which will only introduce him to worse criminals and reduce his chances of getting honest/useful employment in the future), but if he drives illegally or does any other crime he *will* end up at His Majesty's Pleasure..
