An investigation by consumer advocacy group Choice found that most of Australia’s popular car brands collect and share “driver data,” which can include braking patterns and video footage. Choice reports that Kia and Hyundai collect voice data from their cars and sell it to an AI training company. A review shows cars are a “privacy nightmare on wheels.” Choice determined that Isuzu Ute, Mitsubishi, and Subaru do not collect or share driver data in Australia.
