2018 makes more sense, that’s when backup cameras were mandatory so since they were putting in a screen manufacturers made every car have an ‘infotainment’ center and with all of that processing power comes logging and other privacy invading features.

Really I don’t go past 2008 myself. That was a cliff car manufactures went off after the sub prime mortgage fun fun time.

Hm. Well I certainly agree that privacy invasive stuff is absolutely unwelcome but I’m also a pretty big fan of backup cameras. I bought a 2023 and while it does have the “infotainment” and backup can, outside of that it’s all quite dum and everything outside of like bluetooth paring and general infotainment stuff is all physical buttons. So really my point is while it is unusual, even brand new vehicles can manage to avoid the privacy nightmare.
