Why is your email in my car?

February 16, 2018 Daniel Stenberg 4 Comments

I got this email in German...

    Subject: Warumfrage

    Schonen guten Tag

    Ich habe auf meinem Navi aus meinem Auto einen Riesentext wo unter anderem Ihre Mailadresse zu sehen ist?

    Konnen Sie mich schlau machen was es damit auf sich hat ?

... which translated into English says:

    I have a huge text on my sat nav in my car where, among other
    things, your email address can be seen?

    Can you tell me what this is all about?

I replied (in English) to the question, explained how I'm the main
author of curl and how his navigation system is probably using this.
I then asked what product or car he saw my email in and if he could
send me a picture of my email being there.

He responded quickly and his very brief answer only says it is a
Toyota Verso from 2015. So I put an image of such a car on the top of
this post.

    libcurl is also in the BMW i3 electric car. Although only your
    name appears, not your email. https://youtu.be/Kal-MjsNcFQ?t=51

    Cool - as long the car does not start sending E-Mails to you is
    all fine 

    Thanks for curl!
