No he meant they are just trying to safe their face.
I get that. But the implication is executives from hyundai all met because of that information from mozilla to determine how they can counter the privacy concerns. Then they came up with “give them an EV charger, that'll make them forget!”. Then no one mentions that the solution may only be seen by 5% of people buying a small segment of cars?
Its a stretch. I'm pretty sure they are just trying to reduce friction of people buying EVs and this has nothing to do with the information about privacy.
Now if they had some major incentives across all types of data stealing cars, that might be connected.
You are probably right. However I wonder how much data they will collect using EVs. Since newer systems usually mean more data.
