Secrecy, privacy, security, intrusion

My car has a SIM. When I took delivery it was almost like having a new PC with the myriad settings and data sharing and T&C agreements. It periodically requires me to reconfirm or change what data I am willing to share with the manufacturer’s system. In return it provides real time traffic, map updates, system updates, etc. Data sharing can vary from none to almost everything. It seems rudimentary compared to what Ford is doing.
