The Cameras in Your Car May Be Harvesting Data as You Drive
Safety system sensors in modern cars are collecting data about the road on behalf of the company that makes them

If you drive a newer car, it’s likely to have at least one built-in camera or sensor that powers important safety systems such as automatic emergency braking (AEB) and blind spot warning (BSW), or that makes driving easier with assistance features such as adaptive cruise control and lane centering. Most of the software and algorithms that control those systems were developed by Mobileye.

RocketReach and the creepy world of data harvesting

You’ve probably never heard of RocketReach. But I think you should, as it’s got me properly riled up.

I just want people to leave me alone. My job is hard enough as it is, without people sliding into my inbox 24/7.

- Hey, got time for a quick 15 minute chat about this random tool you’ll never use? NO

- Hi, I’d love to chat with you about a potential partnership with-GO AWAY.

- We really think your organisation could benefit from- JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

- I noticed you haven’t replied to our previous emails; just checking you didn’t miss this. I DIDN’T MISS IT I’M DELIBERATELY IGNORING YOU.

It’s constant, and it’s draining. I don’t know who out there is telling people that spamming folks with cold emails is the way to grow your business, but I’m begging them to stop.

I mean, it must be working, or they wouldn’t do it. But it’s just incredibly frustrating. Especially if you’re someone like me that doesn’t like to be mean to people. My deeply-instilled British values of politeness mean it pains me to ignore these people.

But I have to, or I wouldn’t be able to function. Just replying to these people would be a full-time job.

So imagine my dismay when I discovered there are websites out there specialising in making it even easier to contact me. And one of the worst offenders out there is RocketReach.
