    I mean, it could hurt the 1%. Car manufacturers gather a laughably huge amount of data. Everything from where you shop, to your genetic information, to who you’re sleeping with.

    All it would take is a group of 99%’ers pooling money to buy the info of lawmakers, CEOs, etc… When it’s suddenly their info being sold, I bet they’ll be a lot more amenable to protections. Because when the lawmakers’ secret affairs start getting aired by their car, they’ll be quick to shut that shit down.
