Senator Ron Wyden: The potential ramifications of this in post-Roe America can't be overstated. This means law enforcement in a red state where abortion is illegal could get access to a woman's location data and weaponize it against her if she sought out-of-state abortion care.

Here's a quick rundown of how each automaker handles customer location data requests:

IMHO this needs a third column, many automakers telemetry APIs are unauthenticated. All one needs to do is see what request the car is making and mirror that with a VIN of your choosing. These are "protected" by the CFAA but there is no enforcement or conviction

Why is collection of this data without explicit consent allowed in the first place.

Well we found the one thing Tesla doesn't suck at. Drag the rest before congress to do some 'splainig, Senator.

Depends on how the yes or no was assessed…

Tesla?!
