work in a software company from India

bought an ev 2 wheeler

the company provided statistics about the distance travelled, efficiency, range, all in different driving modes

felt happy to know all these

company discontinued sending all the statistics, stopped web login by saying all details would be available on the phone app

3 months got over, but no new features available on the phone app

try to snoop what’s happening on their app

found the api key and url from the app log.

MF, they track 20+ parameters for each trip including the number of times the horn is pressed

why the horn count? What are they going to get by tracking it? 🤔

all the EVs are privacy nightmares.

    Would the sandbox mode in grapheneOS make a difference? I don’t have it, I just read that the sandbox mode is used for Google Play Store, can you put anything in a sandbox?

      probably not, because the data from your car is going to the company’s servers anyway before it gets to your phone
