Porsche Says No to Google over Privacy Concerns

Personal information sharing is a hot topic all over, and it's not surprise to see that some manufacturers are pushing back on privacy policies related to infotainment systems. According to the Verge, Google's Android Auto is not favored by Porsche

Both Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto can turn regular vehicles into connected cars, but according to Porsche, one has a distinct advantage over the other. Motor Trend reports that the German car manufacturer went with Apple's infotainment system over Google's in its new 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S because the Android Auto agreement demanded too much data be sent to the search giant.
The publication says that Android Auto tracks variables including vehicle speed, throttle position, fluid temperatures, and engine revs, information that is collated and then sent back to Google. Apple's CarPlay, on the other hand, only checks with the car's powertrain control module to ensure that the vehicle is moving.
