Not this time

again with the data slurping and looking over your shoulder monitoring what you are doing and where you are going -no thanks.I'll keep and drive my 1960s era former police car and keep BIG Data out of my life,Thank you.

IoT has proven to be a disaster - The ability of anyone being able to take control of a vehicle remotely - and any IoT connected device (including the cops,who at least where I live -have proven to to be corrupt beyond belief) is something I do not want.The most modern vehicle I own is a 1999 Ford Ranger pickup and even here,I have taken steps to prevent any form of spying on what I do,to the point of replacing the OEM computer with a hand built computer that is totally isolated from the outside world.I get better performance and a hell of a lot better mileage than Ford had imagined.

How long it will take for most people to realize that the invasion of your privacy for some slight convenience isn't worth it?
