There are 1 or 2 threads about how to minimize in Mustangs.
Interesting to see where other makers rank on a scale of "only very creepy" to "Creepiest of Super Creepy"
From: Think of Your Modern Car or Truck as Void of Privacy
Mozilla studied 23 automotive brands that are sold in the US and two that are not (Renault and Dacia). These were the only two automakers to say all drivers have the right to have their personal data deleted.
This is probably, Mozilla says, the result of Europe’s “robust” General Data Protection Regulation. Researchers also were unable to determine whether any of the 25 brands encrypt all the personal information stored in the car, Mozilla’s basic requirement to earn its Minimum Security Standards designation.
Creepiest of Super Creepy Automakers
Mozilla ranked these 16 brands as the creepiest of the “super creepy” in terms of data collection, in this order from worst to not-quite-as-bad: Nissan, Chevrolet, Kia, Hyundai, Dodge, Lexus, Audi, Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Ford, Fiat, Buick, Subaru, Lincoln, and Acura.
Slightly Less Super Creepy
GMC, Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, and Renault.
One More Step Down on the Super Creepy Scale
Jeep, BMW, Cadillac, and Tesla.
Only Very Creepy
Dacia (after all, they are low-priced cars and perhaps come with a limited suite of connected services).
