If you want a car that isn't recording everywhere you go and sending it to home base, you've been shit out of luck for a while.

@PatrickoftheG How long a while, I wonder? Is Toyota tracking our 1999 RAV4?
@sennoma Early 00s, to be honest; as soon as they came up with On Star, they've been subpoenaing On Star to get at it. I remember a famous thing where Sirius XM had to give up telemetry data in the early teens.
Since then.
Now they cut out the middle man by making the car itself do the spying.
