My current car is old. I had a lot of repairs done on it recently. If I get a new car, I don’t want features. Lane assist, backup camera, DUI Camera, telemetry, auto breaking or other frankly silly features. Call me grumpy, but I find modern cars very distracting.

Can I ask a dealership to disable these at purchase? Is there a car that works best for being private besides just older cars?

I drive very little in a year. No, I can’t ride a bike.

    Do you want privacy or none of the technology features?

    Many tech features come built in and you may be able to turn them off individually in the car settings, though probably not all features if they’re related to safety.

    If you’re worried about privacy and the car phoning home, then that’s a different topic.
