Most, if not all car companies collect and profile your data, how can I improve my privacy when buying a modern car? (www.mozillafoundation.org)

I think car privacy isn't talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

Lucky for them ethical hackers (CCC) found that and did not use the data.

In other words “ethical hackers” wasted a great opportunity to give shithead politicians a taste of their own venom. Very frustrating.

    Yea, CCC actually has a huge problem by being too ethical. Apparently they had cases were the data protection authority did not force companies to disclose the leak because access by CCC does not constitute access by a malicious third party; absolutely bonkers. Just because the malicious party didn't open their mouth doesn't mean they haven't accessed the data, you pigeon.
