You might not realize it, but your older car is protecting your privacy better than if you had a shiny new ride like your neighbor’s. This has been confirmed by the Mozilla Foundation. Automakers push to make accessing your car’s data a crime punishable by 3 to 5 years in federal prison. In a recent video breaking down the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the auto industry’s lobbying, Rossmann warns that accessing your own vehicle’s telematics data by bypassing a digital lock could, under law, be treated as a federal crime punishable by three to five years in prison. And instead of fighting that idea, he says, carmakers are leaning into it.
