I thought, I wonder if it’s the same guy? Sure enough.
Stop it.
So fucking do it! Who died and made you the style police?

He's making reasonable points, in a readable fashion.
You, on the other hand...
What's your point? AI bad? Srsly, is that all you've got?

Prior commentary advised removing the fuse to stop the telemetry. This comment points out that the chain of information flow precludes the owner of the car.
I don't understand what "the record" is referring to here. The mileage is presumably still on the odometer of the car. So what is "the record" that the owner does not have and how is that causing the owner an issue?
You don't really think they added all that circuitry and a cell connection just to collect odometer information, do you?
> how is that causing the owner an issue?
Welp, it was a huge issue for a lot of owners when GM OnStar started sharing real-time driving data with insurance companies.
Supposedly they're stopping that, but a lot of the damage is done.
I read this as:
"Removing the fuse that provides power to the telematics module can stop data collection from a vehicle, but the real issue is that the putative owner is the only one who isn't instantly privy to all of the collected data."
In any case, the complaint above was obviously about AI usage, and there are a lot of good reasons to use AI for editing your words, starting with (for example) if you're not a native speaker.
My car is from 2011 and I do wonder if there is any telemetry in it.
I could see a fuse for cellular comms, be presumably that would also disable maps, contacting emergency services in an accident, etc. which might be an acceptable tradeoff.
Its only job is to detect harsh acceleration and brake events. Probably being sold to your insurer.
