  • Today, my colleague Kashmir Hill explains what our cars now know and what this means for our lives.

  • It's Monday, March 18.

  • So, Kashmir, you're a data and technology reporter, and you usually come on the show to tell us some very frightening new way that technology is going to affect our lives.

  • This time, though, you're coming on the show to talk about cars.

  • Why cars?

  • Well, like many Americans during the pandemic, I got a new car, and I hadn't had a car since 1999, when I was in high school.

  • And cars have changed a lot.

  • They've gotten much better.

  • They're more sophisticated.

  • I mean, they're basically computers on wheels.

  • But I know that when you connect things to the Internet, it has the ability to record data about you, watch you, potentially spy on you if you don't know what kind of data is being collected and sent out.

  • So you're sitting in this new car, looking around, thinking, okay, this stuff is probably spying on me.

  • Exactly.
