We already give up our privacy to use phones, why not with cars too?

Re: So drive a..

I wonder if it is possible to create a market for smart connected cars then create a market for apps for these connected cars -- even if these aren't your cars you will want to personalize your ride! There is money to be made.

Then let's open said app market for third party developers. Dozens of dodgy offers like "beat the traffic with cheat codes from our app" or "increase max speed" appear in the market. Don't forget to charge developers a cut for each app sold.

Lots of clueless users (let's not call them drivers) start installing those apps, and wonder why their ride is taking them to seedy parts of the town, and keep taking pictures from the cars' internal camera (of COURSE there will be some!) or keeping asking for the credit card details.

What a time to live in!
