      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.

      Not to mention, to get access to many of these apps, you have to pay for them. So basically you're paying an exorbitant yearly amount and your data is still going to be exfiltrated.
