If it can be removed. Car electronics are as integrated as your phone removing or disabling individual parts can totally fubar the car. Canada (and the rest of the world) needs to set some seriously harsh standards for vehicles and digital privacy.

When I need a new car it'll be well researched and proven to be possible, or it will be a old 1990's car and I'll upgrade parts. I don't mind soldering, researching chips, removing any antennas, etc.

In any case, It's public knowledge so hopefully we get laws or something first to stop this shit.
