Makes me wonder if anyone out there is maintaining a list of (I can’t believe I’m about to say this) privacy-respecting cars
I honestly do not understand their rating system. Every one of them looks to have exactly the same rating (Mozilla says 👎, People voted super creepy), but then they have a sort by least or most creepy. What gives?
Edit: nevermind looks like there are some that are “very creepy”. This rating system is kind of obtuse.
Because they are all creepy, and not one of those companies give a damn about privacy or security…and why should they? Companies can’t get in trouble for anything ever…
I love the idea but hate how Mozilla did this
yeah the rating system is poorly executed. the articles on the other hand are quite a good read.
Mozilla’s “least to most creepy” ranking is the best resource I’ve found so far:

I would think most cars before 2010 should be okay. Infotainment was pretty rudimentary at that point
Infotainment? Do you mean adverdataharvestment?
Yeah, that’s pretty accurate
I prefer my car just be a car! I am definitely getting old.
No, you aren’t. You just haven’t been conditioned your whole life to accept 100% surveillance.
When I went to trade school in 2010 for automotive repair our instructors told us this was going to happen. At the time, I thought they were just grumpy old men who didn’t like that cars were becoming more and more electronic. How wrong I was
I want to thank the Automakers for giving me more reasons to ride a bike! 🤗 🤗
Typical Washington bluster for optics. Auto manufacturers and their unions contribute too much money to politicians, nothing will be done.
Are there any modern cars without this problem? It makes sense that they steal data considering how many have wifi and bluetooth
I guess only the ones without Internet connection
