Surveyed drivers prefer low-tech cars over data-sharing ones
Surveyed drivers prefer low-tech cars over data-sharing ones

According to a survey of 2,000 Americans conducted by Kaspersky in November and published this week, 72 percent of drivers are uncomfortable with automakers sharing their data with advertisers, insurance companies, subscription services, and other third-party outfits. Specifically, 37.3 percent of those polled are "very uncomfortable" with this data sharing, and 34.5 percent are "somewhat uncomfortable."

However, only 28 percent of the total respondents say they have any idea what kind of data their car is collecting. Spoiler alert: It's potentially all the data.
