Cell phones don’t cost tens of thousands of dollars and have easy ways to get around tracking if you’re really concerned. While I can avoid certain apps on my phone or install a different os, doing something similar for new cars is currently impossible apart from tearing it apart to find and unplug the modem.
Imagine spending good money on a product and then some creep is able to track your every move, collect that data and then sell it some other creep.
That isn’t what you’re getting with any cell phone?

You can’t stop location tracking on cellular devices. If it’s connected to a cell tower, you’re being tracked and profiled.
You can put your phone in a Faraday bag.
How am I going to do that to my car :(
In steps, and you kinda drive onto it
Not great for mobile operation, however 😬
Carrier is still slurping your dataz.
Not if you install a degoogled rom :)
Carrier data aggregation entered the chat.
Touché. But the less the better
You don’t have to have it out of a Faraday bag/turned on everywhere you go, only when using it directly.
