    Like the other comment said, if you drive a car made after 2014, don’t bother. You drive a rolling tracking beacon regardless of what you do with your smart devices…

      Tracking/privacy and ads are related, but separate issues. Cars might track where you are going, but they aren’t showing ads (yet).

        Look up Stellantis pop up ads, then look how many brands Stellantis owns… Truly dystopian.

    Until a few years later when all the used TVs have cell modems. The same thing is already happening in the used car market, it’s getting harder and harder to find a reliable vehicle that doesn’t have a cell modem and a long T&C that let’s them spy on you.
