I'm thinking of buying a car. What is some advice? How do I maintain privacy in a modern car? (reddthat.com)

Context:

I don't want the car reporting to insurance hard breaks and such. But frankly I just find these things creepy and I just want a base model car.

I'm used to driving old shitboxes but a few years ago we rented a completely new car. It was almost driving itself, making sure I stayed in my lane, it had automatic beam selection, a big screen for playing music and navigation, tiny little plastic thingies that pops out when you open the door making it harder to dent adjacent cars. It was a fucking spaceship. I'm not going to lie, I would love to have all of those fancy features.
