- Major car brands admit to selling drivers' personal information and sharing it with government without a court order.
- Cars collect various sensitive data through sensors, cameras and connected devices, but give owners little control over it.
- Car brands scored worst in privacy compared to other products; none met minimum standards set by Mozilla.
- Only two brands offer deletion of data, but they don't sell cars in the US; Nissan found collecting most sensitive information.
- Lack of regulations allow carmakers to profit from selling drivers' personal data with few safeguards.
