As mentioned in another comment, the link takes us to the parent page where you can choose a brand (and presumably then, a model) of car to learn about.
I noticed that Mazda isn’t included among their brands so I sent a suggestion, thank you! I didn’t know that they provided privacy support for so many devices - they even have the Nintendo Switch in there and all kinds of categories: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/
I also noticed Mazda wasn’t on there. Doesn’t even come up in a search. Does that mean they’re more respectful of privacy?
It means that they haven’t reviewed them.
No, it means they haven’t investigated them. If they had they would include them on the list and tell you the details.
What would you need to do to make a car dumb? Remove all connectivity chips? ECU swap? Flashing custom software?
Buy a simple car
Thats the easy route, but i had hoped it would be possible to do something with newer cars. Looks like old ones might fall out of favor of laws in the future.
I’d think just unhooking the antenna would do it, it might stop working eventually though
Usually, the efficient goal oriented are dumb enough like ebikes. I am guessing investing in Aptera would be a great option for a to b daily driving. Aside from that, custom computer to control the car is the most logical step until you get into electric or hybrid type vehicles where the aftermarket is not big enough. Removing wireless connectivity fuses are another option but I don’t know if a service shop will connect the fuses defeating your privacy. Also a phone app will always be anti privacy. Make sure to get products without apps or wireless connection capabilities as manufacturers start preventing you from using products without registering it with an app first.
My LEAF has a 3G radio. It’s useless now. If it were still connected, I could yank it; you can have any shop do the same.
Feel like it could be as simple as removing a fuse (or fuses) in some cases.
2009 vibe.
Other then the 420 error. My car doesn’t tell anyone anything.
I’ve got a 2005 Subaru forester. No privacy problems so far
My car is a 2015 and I’m in no hurry to replace it, but I can’t help but worry about the future. I like replacing the head unit in my cars, and it’s going to be a worse and worse option as time goes on, potentially resulting in losing actually useful features.
All of them are voted super creepy lol

your link is broken and does not take us directly to an article :/
You have to click on a brand and there is the research about their cars.
Please just direct link to articles; or provide per-brand links to individual articles. Some of us use browser settings that do not fully render pages because Javascript cannot always be trusted completely to run without guardrails.
OK, here are some examples:
BMW: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/bmw/
Tesla: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/tesla/
Renault: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/renault/
Ford: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/ford/
Volkswagen: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/volkswagen/
Honda: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/honda/
Nissan: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/nissan/
God forbid you have to interact with a table to get information.
Should we make it a listicle for you while we’re at it?
