Will probably depend on if the data stays with Toyota or is shared with Huawei

And whether governments and politicians trust Toyota to tell — or even know — the truth about where their data lives.

And how many payments the politicians take from local/competing car companies haha

Is that the difference? Wasn't Toyota also in the business of selling your driving data to insurance companies?

[–] tristan@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

The difference is that there were concerns Huawei would share the data with the Chinese government for them to spy on various groups/individuals

Most countries like America have no problem with you selling the data to other companies or governments (the US Gov themselves buy huge amounts of data) to spy on you, just not to the Chinese government.

So if the data stays with Toyota (or the people they sell it to), they aren't likely to upset the governments... But if the data is directly shared with Huawei, it's likely to run into some pretty quick walls
