In my opinion, the worst part about new cars is that they are essentially tracking devices and some of them can be remotely controlled.
Any suggestions on how to get a car that doesn't track you and was built post-2010?
Mazda MX5. I have a 2019 and it's simple. Heated seats, blindspot mirrors, backup camera, led headlights. Absolute joy to drive.
No other tech that tracks you as far as I'm aware.
Thanks for the suggestion, it looks promising. MX5 has only 2 seats, but maybe one of the larger models is good too.
Why do you think it doesn't track you? It has voice recognition in the infotainment, so it has microphones. I guess it probably won't have mobile data connection since they require you to connect your phone or take it to a dealer for infotainment updates. So might be safe as long as you don't allow it to use your phone data when its connected via Bluetooth or do over the air updates or take it to a dealer for repairs/updates.
I'm not sure if car manufactures do it yet but samsung is known to require data dumps before providing spare parts for phones to 3rd party repair shops, so maybe car manufactures could do that as well?
There is a website that you can opt out of having certain data tracked.
But I imagine insurance companies will use it as an excuse to raise your rates if you opt out
There is also the issue of companies pinky-promising that they won't track you but still call home.
But if no other alternatives are available, this is good to know.
Build it yourself? ๐
