#UnplugBigTech Tipp 27: Tesla-Überwachung
Tesla-Fahrzeuge erfassen ständig ihre Umgebung, überwachen das Fahrverhalten und übertragen Daten in die USA. Ob europäische Alternativen wirklich datenschutzfreundlicher sind, ist schwer zu prüfen. Fast alle Autos kannst du aber offline stellen und für Navi/Stau ein TomTom oder trackingfreies Android nehmen. Die beste Wahl: Fahrrad fahren und Open-Source-Car-Projekte wie Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) unterstützen.
