<p>The report mentioned by <a href="https://u.today/vitalik-buterin-makes-important-statement-about-ethereum-layer-2s" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buterin</a> states that all 25 car brands evaluated received a "Privacy Not Included" warning label, indicating serious privacy shortcomings.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Modern vehicles, often described as "computers on wheels," collect an excessive amount of personal data, ranging from location to driving habits, and even inferring personal characteristics.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This data is not only used for vehicle operations but also for marketing and other business purposes. Furthermore, 84% of these brands are reported to share or sell this personal data, with 56% potentially sharing it with government agencies upon request.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This alarming level of data collection and sharing has raised significant privacy concerns among experts and consumers alike.</p>

<p>Buterin's post has sparked a discussion on social media about the balance between technological advancements and privacy.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some users express interest in retrofitting classic cars to avoid modern privacy issues while others accuse Buterin of being a technology denier.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, <a href="https://u.today/vitalik-buterin-shares-controversial-statements-about-crypto-companies" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buterin</a> clarifies his stance, stating that he supports various modern technologies, including certain AI applications, but he maintains a critical view of specific technologies that pose privacy risks. "There's a small-but-important subset of things I worry about!" he stressed.&nbsp;</p>
