Give me a really “dumb” vehicle with absolutely NO sensors , recorders or communications devices.
And don’t take a cell phone with you, if you can help it.

Further proof how securely in bed with government is Government Motors.
I will never buy a product of theirs. UAW junk

NO ON STAR
GM must have found out the recording devices were made in China odd data kept showing up.

And so many have forgotten how GM well earned the moniker Government Motors.
