   @mathowie If the car has GPS, even if you never use their maps, they get your location at all times, right? (If they have a cell connection to exfiltrate that data, that is) IMO, that location data is amongst the most sensitive, and not connecting your phone doesn't stop it.

     using CarPlay and AA, you are naturally walling off your personal data (texts, where you go using maps, what you're listening to) from automakers, and you only have to trust in Goole and Apple (and your phone carrier). This is Chevy trying to hoover up all customer data to analyze and likely sell.

     If you buy a Blazer EV, they'll know every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take—Chevy will be watching you

     The new Chevy Blazer EV looks cool but it’s the first Chevy car that REMOVES CarPlay and Android Auto and instead uses a Google-based screen system but given a court just ruled automakers can legally read/record your texts I gotta say this seems like the most customer hostile thing I’ve ever seen from an automaker.
