If the data is there, the powers-that-be and the marketeers will eventually go after it. And, based on current precedents, they will get it. The article indicates that "Ford and Microsoft’s philosophy is the customer owns the data." But even if a true reflection of their view, that's right now, not several years out. Moreover, a customer "owning" it and somebody else still "legally" getting a look at it have become virtually identical things in our techno-world. All it takes is a EULA.

Once cars can talk, they'll be reciting advertisments.
(Has there ever been a communications channel that wasn't used for adverts? Maybe smoke signals and semaphore...) |

Just because they aren't talking now doesn't mean they can't. Besides, what's worse - cars that talk or cars that listen? |

said by PCWorld : They will also be able to collect vast amounts of data about who we are, where we go, and what we do.
Why it could bother anyone here? We all have nothing to hide, right? Just give me a discount when I park my car next to a store... It's more important, than all that privacy crap.
Isn't that how the majority of people in the US think?

It's more likely that there will be voice popups advertising quick-service restaurants as you drive using the navigation feature. Why not? There would be money in this. Maybe there can be an ad-blocker for the car system as well?

Already got that.
(New Garmin satnav, comes with free traffic info [good] paid for with local ads [bad]. Or so it is said, though I've never seen 'em, haven't used this new device much yet. I'm not much concerned, the feature has an off switch and live traffic updates wasn't a factor in the decision, it was just there). |

kudos:2 | Now, imagine that the talk was done automatically via WiFi or cell network. Technology has almost endless possibilities. Especially if no one wants to see one step ahead of what he is going to face with it.. And of course it will be presented as a way to save no less, but a child's life. Lovely...
