Correct. Yeah, if you have a newer car with GPS, it will likely also have built in communications to the car company.

There are benefits to older, “dumber” cars. Besides enjoying knobs and buttons 😁

Your car’s GPS is also tracking your movements. If you have a newer car then your phone is only part of the problem.

Some parents are just bigots. Some are brainwashed by religion. Some are just afraid and/or angry about anything they don’t understand. If a kid isn’t telling their parents, there is probably a VERY good reason. Kids get beaten. Kids get kicked out of their homes. Kids get sent to conversion camps. Parents can be just as terrible as anyone else.
