    Does tracking mileage have any privacy implications if it was just a self-report type dealio or would that be too easy to lie on?

    I’m guessing the privacy implications come in only if it’s the car doing it for you, where it might be taking that data for itself too to add to your ad network profile or whatever.

    My current thoughts would be I’d rather report my mileage difference each year or whatever.

      Obviously everyone will suddenly magically drive 100 miles a year if it’s self reported.

      And even reporting the difference each year is a problem. Not so much with digital data, but with the government.

      Your car is already selling all the other information already if it’s less than 10 or so years old (disclaimer- I don’t know the specific number, but that’s gotta be close).
