>>1870117user tracking requires:
- some transmitter device (cell/wifi)
- some logging capacity (eeprom, etc)
- sensors (starting from GPS)
- battery (bigger is better, and even the most puny EUC has hundreds watt/hours capacity).
You manufacturer could realistically put them on an EUC, yet someone would eventually find out. "Why the heck a GPS receiver and a populated SIM card slot are here?"
>b-but, they could track the log files from the appOh, boy. What if I use some 3rd party app, say,
https://euc.world ?
What if I ride without using any app? (Yes, you can).
Side note: what about some Tesla? Even a cheap electric sports these:
- "always-connected" motherboard, large, powerful, lots of RAM and "disk" space
- "always-on" GPS
- lots of sensors, microphones, radar/lidar's, cameras, antennas
- 30-60-90 kilowatt/hours battery
You can literally forget it in your garage and it will constantly keep logging data, doing Fourier's Transform to catch variations, peaks, interesting events, and six months later it will be able to transmit a shitload of data to its manufacturer, to the government ("he ignored geofencing 6 times: SUS!"), to the insurance ("his driving style has had 27 accelerator peak pressure in 19 minutes! time to make him pay more for the same").
So, while EUC manufacturers may be weilling to add useless gadgets (onboard GPS and transmitters, or requiring a wifi internet connection active, etc), you don't actually need them while riding (seriously, is there anyone enjoying the V12 display? oh boy, colors, fonts, marquee's, but when you're riding you should watch your way).
