Their related article goes on to state, that all of the 25 brands they tested earned the Label, which I take to mean, that by extension probably most if not every car brand has privacy flaws.
I skimmed through their privacy policy and I’m not confident Mozilla would approve. They can share the telemetry that comes from your car, including it’s physical location.
Should I presume Mazda and others that are not listed are doinga good job?
Doubtful. Absence from a list like this usually just means that the people investigating had limited resources, and therefore chose a representative sample instead of doing an exhaustive survey.
If this report gets much attention, it would be a good opportunity for any car makers that do well on privacy (if they exist) to start boldly advertising it.
I skimmed the article. Some manufacturers are not listed. Mazda for one.
