Is it possible to buy a "disconnected" car these days? People for decades survived loads of daily driving without snooping from manufacturers call centers.
There's still some portion which are disconnected but there's not many. What'll probably be more important soon is learning how different vehicles react when you physically disable their tracking mechanisms. E.g. if I were to just cut and remove comm antennas will the vehicle keep running just fine or will it notice and start throwing codes or refuse to start? Would making modifications like that be legal? We're going to be forced to do such things in the pretty near future to remain untracked.
Maybe an idea for a website someone could make - provide the ability to search by car/VIN and have it list out all the tracking that's built into it and whether each can be forcefully disabled/removed. The ability to search for cars with the least amount of tracking built in, or that has easy to disable tracking, to inform you on what cars to buy.
