Mozilla Foundation research details how moder, internet-connected cars are a "privacy nightmare" because of the data collected by trackers, cameras, microphones, and sensors.

"All 25 car brands we researched earned our *Privacy Not Included warning label -- making cars the official worst category of products for privacy that we have ever reviewed."

'Highlights' include Nissan collecting data on your, uh, sexual activity.
