Advertisers and Feds Want Data Automakers Collect From High-Tech Cars (http://www.infowars.com/advertisers-feds-want-data-automakers-collect-from-high-tech-cars/)

Every BMW rolling off the assembly line, for example, collects data on location, speed, acceleration and even the weight of the passengers in the car, and the data is so comprehensive, it could tell advertisers when a car carrying a child is passing by a McDonald’s and it could also tell the government when a driver is speeding.

“There’s plenty of people out there saying: ‘give us all the data you’ve got and we can tell you what we can do with it’,” he told the Financial Times. “And we’re saying: ‘No thank you’.”

But given time, the data will likely be taken through a hack attack, a business deal or government pressure.

For one thing, ever-expanding governments are always looking for more funding, especially as gas tax revenues continue to fall with the price of oil.

And not one in a thousand people give the slightest shit.

Until it's too late.

Perhaps the only way to wake many of them up is to make it too late right now. Put them right in to endgame, and subject their most private and intimate thoughts to the scrutiny of the public. Things that would destroy a person. Better that we do it than the powers that be.
