      if an owner decides they are uncomfortable with the data sharing described within them, they are faced with (arguably) unfair choices:
      - 01 accept the agreements regardless of their concerns
      - 02 stop using their car's connected-vehicle features - which includes remote start, the app, and other very useful features
      - 03 stop using the vehicle entirely
    
    Easy, I take #2. Is that it? This whole time I thought the article was talking about telemetry the car sends regardless.

      Like #2 prevents the spying. Let's ask some smart TV brands executives their opinion on the matter.
