- snickerbockers 1y agoWe aren't at the point where it's unavoidable though. Even if we assume that its impossible to dodge random onstar/sirius bloatware crap that probably tracks you, you can definitely still buy a car that doesn't have a 5g wireless modem, 360-degree webcam coverage, mandatory automatic software updates, and ass-warming seats locked behind DRM that forces you to have an online account linked to your credit card.
- reactordev 1y agoThere is no new vehicle produced today that doesn’t track you. Not a single one.
- mothballed 1y agoLot of new motorcycles don't. Although sadly many new ones now have bluetooth and smart phone connectivity which even if not used can be used as an identifier.
- bluedino 1y agoI have multiple cars and none of them are new enough to have that. They'll have to track me the old-fashioned way, by my phone.
- reactordev 1y agoIf they were made after 2016, they definitely are tracking you.
