YOU ARE NOT BEING PARANOID - THEY ARE INDEED TRACKING YOUR CAR'S MOVEMENTS



Automakers track and store your location as you drive.


(NaturalNews) It's bad enough that traffic cameras, satellites and the National Security Agency tracks and records virtually everything you do and everywhere you go.   Now the nation's major automobile makers are doing the same thing.

According to a report in The Detroit News, the tracking isn't something that buyers were aware of (I'm assuming that's because "tracking" wasn't offered as an option but instead was, obviously, standard equipment):

A government report finds that major automakers are keeping information about where drivers have been - collected from onboard navigation systems - for varying lengths of time. Owners of those cars can't demand that the information be destroyed. And, says the U.S. senator requesting the investigation, that raises questions about driver privacy.  The Government Accountability Office in a report released Monday found major automakers have differing policies about how much data they collect and how long they keep it.
