    I don’t suppose there is an easy to create device that creates tens or hundreds of random virtual bluetooth and wifi devices that we can leave in our vehicles to poison the data it is collecting?

      I wouldn’t think so because you would need tens or hundreds of Bluetooth/WiFi radios. Even then they could still know that “here comes that guy with hundreds of Bluetooth/WiFi radios.”

      A simpler solution might be to use randomized and regularly rotated mac addresses for your WiFi chips, which is easy enough on any android/Linux device. However, I’m not sure what other unique identifiers they could use for fingerprinting.
