A car company just announced a vehicle with no cellular modem. No telemetry. No data collection. By design. Slate Auto is betting that privacy sells. Here is the counterintuitive part: removing the modem reduces the BOM cost. The privacy version is cheaper, not more expensive. If this works, it upends the $3B connected-car data market. If it fails, we have market proof that consumers will trade privacy for convenience every single time.
