Take a good book and a coffee machine.
Idea [biggrin]maybe they should include a coffee machine with every electric car.

Has anyone given any thought about the potential for fire and even explosions when these electric cars age and the batteries and wiring inevitably gets fatigued /worn, Especially when they are getting recharged?

These data will serve the authority and insurance company. NRMA will be interested purchasing your driving style information to accurately quote your insurance premium.
Also your travel log will be particularly useful for marketing purposes. These data can be used to model human behavior of certain sub group. Say if you keep driving to Bunnings, hey maybe Amazon should send you some emails promoting milffukee tools...
One of my friend is in the business of data mining...Mind you he is in another country where there is little privacy protection.... Companies collected user data. They then de-identify and sell them to data mining company. Data mining company clean and rearrange the data. Maybe they will link similar data together, do some dodgy stuffs and sell them on global market.
De-identify means the ID and some other data are removed so no one can guess who is in the data...
But the reality is it not very difficult to guess who you really are based on age group, suburb , income , car you drive , maybe medical history linked with purchasing history. Maybe your flight ticket purchase history showing you travel to England on a regular basis...
Maybe I am a little paranoid! Haha
I do doable the location service on my phone when I don't need it..
Cheers

I am sure engineers will figure it out
DJI smart batteries are programed to discharge to 50% from full after 10 days to protect themselfs.Do electric vechiles do the same?
I see no issues with that.. claiming to be a safe driver when not being one is fraud - and the reason insurance costs are so high...Quote:

As for data mining. It’s enormous.. very big business (FB and Google are the kings of it).
That targeted marketing that people seem to complain about has actually saved me money... I spent a long time researching something one week; only to get a far more competitive deal sent to me!
The benefits outweigh the risks. And if you think privacy exists in this age - you’re delusional...
You think killing location services stops your location being known?Quote:
