‘Privacy Nightmare on Wheels’: Every Car Brand Reviewed By Mozilla — Including Ford, Volkswagen and Toyota — Flunks Privacy Test
www.mozillafoundation.org
Mozilla’s latest edition of *Privacy Not Included reveals how 25 major car brands collect and share deeply personal data, including sexual activity, facial expressions, and genetic and health information.

As the title says - I’m currently looking for an EV to replace our old gas-powered car. Do you guys know of any recent EV reviews - by the Mozilla foundation or others - regarding the privacy aspect of the cars?

My impression currently is that the problem has intensified, not lessened, since 2023. I’d love to be wrong though.

      I followed the guide and can confirm it didn’t disable Bluetooth or the compass. The data line was capped using a 50 ohm terminator that was then wrapped in alternating layers of plastic and metal tape with to make a rudimentary Faraday cage. The GPS line was kept on so the compass works just fine.
