    I read most, but not every word of the article, so forgive me if I missed it. Can we just disconnect the antenna/modem on the car so there is no way to transfer the data it collects? I’m under the assumption that these are all satellite-connected.

      That is not discussed

      Also yes I was wondering about a Pi-hole or firewall

      But I’m guessing that disconnecting the antenna (breaking the connection) the car would freak out after some time and demand to upload the data.

      This report is deeply troubling (going for the understatement of the year award)

      I’m hoping that someone reputable will come up with a solution

      Article didn’t mention anything about that. However, there is a link to a petition at the end to change privacy standards for cars.
