I want a car that doesn't collect the data, not one that gives a pinky promise not to sell still collected data.

When given the choice between privacy and convenience, the great majority of consumers choose convenience over and over again.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but it's not going to be market based if you look at any recent trends. Interest in privacy is unfortunately a niche concern outside of places like HN.

Anyone who has tried to market a privacy oriented product knows what I am talking about.

  • Is it that the friction to use privacy is too high and not that interest in privacy is actually a niche concern?

    I imagine its friction and not indicative of interest itself.
