I am annoyed that the EU allows this in the first place, that car manufacturers sniff off data from people. And, on top of that, block open source alternatives.
To me this smells like a cartel. Why is the EU not doing anything?
It is. There are incoming EU regulations about consumers needing free access to their data that is sent to a cloud server on their behalf. That doesn’t mean all the functionality of an app needs to be implemented.
My feeling is that this change plus the recent API lock for a few days ago are in fact part of a reworking to enable this EU legislation.
