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