  1.  @YSLRD  At least twice, I couln't understand what he said, even after replaying it, that is, I couldn't make out the words. The purpose of speech is communication. His is sometimes a fail.

  7. That's why you do it with open source software, like he is. If there is a backdoor, somebody will mention it and blow the whistle. Of course, in the AI driving data collection mode that trains the AI, where you're going and how is being uploaded (else it wouldn't work, the learning algorithm can't learn without examples), that info would be of use to somebody, if you can turn that off when you want privacy, good deal. You can obviously turn off your cell phone, unhook it and put it in your pocket. I would get the cell phone with separate mechanical switches to turn off each part of it separately. I forget what they call that particular open source phone.
