  Well, I guess I'll have to buy cars from communist countries to get something that doesn't spy on me? Probably just older used cars and accept the cost of having a shop fix it up, maybe modify it a bit whilst it's there. My car is from 2012 and I am very reluctant to downgrade to something newer. I'm with you. My truck is soon going to be a classic by age and I do whatever I can to keep it running. The next one may be even older and modded to get better fuel efficiency. In my opinion the automotive industry has jumped the shark adding widgets nobody asked for. Worse, adding remote telemetry and drive-by-wire that is connected to that remote network. Not even theory, some automotive security enthusiasts got into a bit of trouble a decade ago taking control of a vehicle on a live highway. That will be a never ending game of whack-a-hole just like internet software has been since the beginning with the only difference being real lives of real families are at stake.
