Car make/year that doesn't collect/share reams of data

1 points by jancsika ↗ HN
tldr; what's the "dumb phone" of modern cars?

I'd like to purchase a (relatively) inexpensive car with the following properties:

1. none of car's OSes send data to third-parties. Exception for physically hooking the car up to a diagnostic machine at the service place, assuming they aren't also forwarding what they slurp up to a third-party.

2. car's entertainment system is physically separated from any non-entertainment-system OSes.

Was there a particular year car companies "became sentient" and switched from just producing vehicles to to producing data collection machines with wheels?

Apart from what you're not looking for, your question is very light on details.

There are numerous cars from about a decade (+/-) ago, that would satisfy these requirements broadly. However, you don't say whether you're looking for an SUV, sedan, runabout, etc.

Price range, brand preference, location also play a role.
