Cars are going to get really terrible really soon if not already. They are becoming less of mechanical machines on wheels and more of computers on wheels. Car companies like Tesla are already harvesting every tiny bit of personal data from you as they possibly can. Other car manufacturers aren't much better. It is truly a privacy nightmare. Any new car you get you will basically have to gut it and cut out the part that tracks everything you do.
Sounds like a new industry about to pop up: the secure your vehicle and privacy industry. Just like there's after market parts and repair, we'll be needing to go to an expert to rip out all the bs from cars.

And soon that will potentially be tax evasion
Cars are the worst. What a terrible blight on the US.
