I can’t quote it offhand, but I know I’ve read an article recently about corporations phoning home and I believe Toyota was on the list. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

That said, I agree about the Toyotas. Even if they DO phone home and we have to deal with that crap, they’re bulletproof and deserve their reputation.

Edit: guess I never ended up reading the whole article, but it was Mozilla. Hopefully this helps: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-on-wheels-every-car-brand-reviewed-by-mozilla-including-ford-volkswagen-and-toyota-flunks-privacy-test/

Admittedly the number was arbitrary - I was just trying to address the major issue I saw in OP’s comment, not even as applied to any country in particular (I’m Canadian).

I guess the idea of UBI needs to be massaged a bit. For example, maybe it doesn’t go to all citizens, just to the households making <60k per year. Demand for services increases, but not in a way that services can indiscriminately increase pricing across the board. Not a full solution but solves one element of the proposed problem
