    Well you are voting with your wallet, the only problem is you’ve been out voted. Honda makes good automotives and part of the “price” now is people giving them their data. People just don’t understand/care enough to not want to buy a Honda. If this were really a big deal to people it would open a place in the market for new automotive companies like Rivian, Lucid, or Polestar to gain massive ground by not doing this.

    This is an education issue. We need to inform people about the dangers of a lack of data privacy. If they still don’t care, then so be it.

      If educating and voting with your wallet actually worked, we wouldn’t have needed laws to put seatbelts in cars.

      You can’t vote with your wallet when there is no choice. Companies will not willingly take the risk of reducing revenue.
