        Nah. From buying a metrocard (or whatever) with your debit/credit card to all of the security cameras, other phones, wifis, and bluetooths pinging the phone in your pocket… Public transport is not a solution to being tracked.

    I would like to switch to an EV. But I do not want a car to spy on me and sell my data, especially to my insurerer. I don’t think such a thing exists outside of EV conversions. I also dont want to spend $80k on a vehicle. Maybe the Slate when it comes out? But I’m not thrilled about the Bezos connection. Guess I’ll keep driving my 19yr old gas guzzler a while longer.

      Cars around can spy on others, they have cameras pointing outside.

      But I assume not owning a car is better than having a car that spies, as it makes profiling harder.

      If I am wrong, please correct me.
