    I have an old car with no advanced technology whatsoever. Could this be avoided by turning off my phone while driving, or can they still acquire data?

        Good question. I’d mostly like to avoid entities like my car insurance provider from collecting information on my driving, things like that.

      I would get a faraday bag or a phone with a physically removable battery if you want to be 100% sure. Even then, it’ll depend on how many traffic cams there are. It can be really difficult to not get tracked anymore.

    The irony of Mozilla being concerned with industry practices around privacy. Rather hypocritical considering their majority funding source.

      Um Its not ironic at all? Mozilla has been active and well regarded in privacy oriented spaces for many years.

      I don’t normally blindly down such comments, but without credible explanation and evidence of what you mean, I made an exception here.
