> a dumb petrol car if there was one Your only realistic option for that now is to buy an old used one: https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/6/23861047/car-user-pr

  Is that really true? As far as I can tell Mozilla is saying that car manufacturers typically give bad/no opt-outs or data controls (which is a very legitimate thing to highlight!)… but you can still buy new cars (at least a couple years ago when I last looked) that aren’t really equipped for gathering mass quantities of personal data. It’s not that hard to find a car that doesn’t have an always-active internet connection or internal cameras or whatnot. Buy one of those and you’re essentially in the same place as if you had bought an older car - the manufacturer gets no data unless you physically bring them the car, and even then what they can realistically get is pretty limited.

    Yes. You would be the dumb one if you thought any complicated piece of machine/software like the cars produced today is not totally tracking you. Dumb cars aren't being manufactured anymore. They are being sold still, hence used.

  You don't have Dacia available in the US? I know that small cars like C3 are too small for the average US consumer and probably won't be available there, but i'm pretty sure most new Dacia models still don't have screen and while the sandero is a bit small the Duster is a SUV and thus should be enough (my childhood friend is a car mechanic and keep trying to sell me Dacia saying they're the easiest to repair, so I'm adding that here, although I like the C3)

    Reverse cameras are mandatory in the US so they will have to have a screen.
