Automakers promise to limit the data they collect from your car (updated)

You might not have to worry much longer. The Auto Alliance (which includes most major American and German brands) has published a set of privacy principles that will limit both the info these companies collect from your car and dictate how they handle it. If all goes according to plan, the voluntary rules will kick in with the 2017 model year as well as any services that launch in 2016.

I wasnt worried but I’m glad someone is doing the worrying for me.
