    That’s good to hear.

    That means they’re fucked when they inevitably get hit by GDPR claims in the EU.

    I was worried they might have had legal prepare for inevitable lawsuits, by ensuring they did the bare minimum. Apparently not. Always fun.

      At least in 2019 they looked at me like I had 3 heads when I mentioned privacy and secure removable ID “pods”. I’m not sure the EU is strong enough to take on all the automaker lobby like they did VW.

        And privacy/security surely doesn’t sound as flashy as all those new inventions that necessarily will demand a compromise. Once the wall has holes it will be hard to stop

        You are comparing a singular industry to 40% of the world’s industries (in financial produce) and say the singular industry would win with lobbying. How would that make sense.

          I don’t understand your point. Are you saying every other industry is going to gather together to bring the car industry to account?
