    What do you mean “run on the car”? You might be thinking of Android Automotive, the car OS.

    They’re still a huge privacy concern.

    …who?

    E: please stop speaking on behalf of the person I asked the question to. They are the only one who knows the answer.

        Yes we’re all aware, thank you. What does that have to do with my question?

          What does that have to do with my question?

          Which question? The one you asked who was the huge privacy concern? If so…did you read the article they linked you? Because the answer is there, and I’m not going to read it for you.

            Which question?

            …either of them?

            The one you asked who was the huge privacy concern?

            You are not the person I asked, nor is the last person who replied to me, so I don’t know how you, they, or the article could possibly know who they were speaking of.

            Plugging your phone in doesn’t suddenly make your car or your phone more or less private so I don’t understand the relevance.

              …either of them?

              They answered the “who is the huge privacy concern” with the link. I literally just said that.

              so I don’t know how you could possibly know who they were speaking of.

              I read the link that was the replied to you, and applied context. It’s not hard to understand what a person means when they literally write it down. It’s one method of communication. Or do you constantly read articles, and never know what the authors meant unless you can quiz them directly?

              Plugging your phone in doesn’t suddenly make your car more or less private so I don’t understand the relevance.

              They weren’t necessarily talking about making the car more or less private via plugging in the phone. The original comment in this thread was wishing GrapheneOS was on cars, and then “modern cars are bad for privacy” link. They were talking about the existing poor state of privacy on modern cars and wishing it was fixed via wishing GrapheneOS could be flashed to the car. There was nothing in this thread about plugging your phone into the car making it more or less private. Again…context.

                No they literally didn’t. That was someone else.

                do you constantly read articles, and never know what the authors meant unless you can quiz them directly?

                Only if they write very unclearly, as the person I replied to did.

                It sounded to me like they were referring to Graphene, and not presumably who you meant about the OEMs, which is why I asked for clarification.

                I’m gonna stop entertaining this pointless debate. Let me know if you hear back from the person who I actually asked the question to, byebye now.

                  And I literally just said you can’t possibly know who the person I replied to was referring to.

                  They are obviously referring to the manufacturers in the link.

                  Only if they write very unclearly, as the person I replied to did.

                  They didn’t. They gave you a link that you didn’t read, clearly. Or if you did…then those manufacturers are who they’re talking about.

                  byebye now.

                    You are right and they are wrong. The person you’re responding to is completely irrational and unintelligent. As somebody that doesn’t know them, I look down upon them and will probably periodically remember their foible and think lowly of them again and chuckle while thinking: “hah what a complete idiot”. Rest assured that you won the argument and that no matter where the person you’re responding to gets in life, there’s at least one person who will periodically remember him and think down upon this simpleton of a person and think of you as the person who made them look like that. Hats off.

      they meant it as having graphene replace the car’s OS. the cars themselves is the privacy concern
