Your Car Is Listening: EVs, Data, and the Quiet Privacy Tradeoff
Description
Electric vehicles don’t just move through the city...they observe it.
In this episode of Darnley’s Cyber Café, we step inside the modern EV to examine what smart cars collect, store, and transmit. Microphones, cameras, GPS logs, and cloud systems quietly turn vehicles into rolling data platforms, mapping routines, relationships, and movement over time.
The episode also touches on why Chinese EVs entering North American markets raise a different class of privacy and security concerns: where vehicle data, state access, and long-term leverage begin to intersect.
A conversation about technology, memory, and what happens when the machine knows more than the driver.
Some systems don’t need to speak loudly to listen.
