‘Privacy Nightmare on Wheels’: Every Car Brand Reviewed By Mozilla — Including Ford, Volkswagen and Toyota — Flunks Privacy Test

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.
