Would love to know of a resource for looking up the amount of telemetry being collected by make/model/year. Like, is this stuff only on cars with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay/inbuilt GPS, or anything that uses Bluetooth?
More reason to support public transport that let's you pay in cash

Your car, your pathetic smart watch, your phone obviously, your neighborhood FLOCK cameras, and your friends/families devices too. It wasn't long ago a story made the rounds that a person's Toyota was reporting telemetry back, which was then sold to their insurance company, who used that data (basing on above average brake pedal use) to raise their rates.
Unless you're in a room by yourself and any/every computer is running Linux, you are currently under surveillance. American company, Israeli company, doesn't matter.
Short of pitchforks, torches, and organized groups at (at least) hundreds or thousands of physical locations, pulling heavy guillotines I don't know what to suggest other than give up the modern conveniences.

All the more reason to drive an older car (also, those bullshit touch screen controls).
