Sadly, GDPR and the new privacy laws that have popped up around the US don't give me much comfort as regards Google and privacy. I've stopped using Gmail for my email, and even if I created a "dummy" gmail account, Google would know my home address. My home address is probably linked to hundreds of things about me, and surely Google is ingesting those. Then, it's a hop, skip, and a jump to knowing I'm the one driving the car and associating with me all the locations I put into Google Maps in the car.

With credit cards, you can make a choice to use cash. I don’t own a polestar so maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like you can’t log out of Google and operate the car. Is that right?

Google automotive was almost a deal breaker for buying this car.

I’m in the market and this is a big obstacle for me purchasing as well. If I were to buy the car I would just use CarPlay once it becomes available.
