Showerthought: my friend's new car told me more about her than she did
I was in her new sedan last week, and she was showing off the built-in assistant. She said, 'Watch this, it knows my favorite coffee shop.' She asked for directions, and the screen pulled up not just the shop, but her usual order and a guess at when she'd arrive. It hit me that the car company knows her routines, her spending, and her location history, all from a system she thinks is just helpful. She didn't even blink at it. Has anyone else had a moment like that, where a normal tech feature suddenly felt like a privacy report on someone's life?

Privacy report" is right, like @nguyen.blake's fridge writing checks.
