I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She’s been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won’t last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?
I can’t quote it offhand, but I know I’ve read an article recently about corporations phoning home and I believe Toyota was on the list. I’ll see if I can dig it up.
That said, I agree about the Toyotas. Even if they DO phone home and we have to deal with that crap, they’re bulletproof and deserve their reputation.
Edit: guess I never ended up reading the whole article, but it was Mozilla. Hopefully this helps: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/privacy-nightmare-on-wheels-every-car-brand-reviewed-by-mozilla-including-ford-volkswagen-and-toyota-flunks-privacy-test/
Yeah it seems all cars share data now according to that report :(
Just gotta get an older dumb car that’s reliable (like Toyota or Lexus) or maybe you can remove the modem from the car.
That report is based on reading privacy policies, it doesn’t actually assess what cars / brands actually do or are capable of
