    Are you threatening higher insurance rates for someone who wants to drive an older car, in the name of safety?

    Sounds like insurance companies punish drivers who can’t afford/don’t want new cars with higher rates, while using safety as a scapegoat.

      You completely missed the point of my comment.

      The person I replied to was worried that data shared by newer cars would be used to raise their insurance rate, so I mentioned insurance to say it didn’t happen to me and my rate is actually pretty low for my area.

      Hey, you do you. If you value your privacy over your physical safety then drive an old beater death trap.
