Hackers find wealth of personal data on crashed cars

AutoExec Summary
White hat hackers have raised concerns about the data stored in Tesla electric cars and its accessibility after a crash. Tesla records personal data that isn’t wiped when the car is written off, and customers who don’t allow access to their data may not receive vital software updates. Hackers were able to extract contact information and calendar entries from crashed Teslas. Tesla defended its data collection, but acknowledged the need for improvements. Concerns about data collection in cars are increasing as they adopt semi-autonomous and driver assistance technology. Toyota has resisted fitting Apple CarPlay to its vehicles due to concerns about data collection.
