Just buy a used car. Look for low KM and good climate rating.
Why care for privacy when in the end your using android auto or apple play?
And a home assistant breaks the point even further.
Not a home assistant. Home Assistant™, the open source privacy focused home automation system.
As I said, it is for a family member. I agree about buying used.
I think android auto can be reasonably private with Graphene OS's implementation.
I don't know what you are saying about Home Assistant.
Edit: Home Assistant
sorry. Didnt know what home assistant was.
I bought a 2015 Dacia. It's just smart enough that it let's you connect a device through Bluetooth, however it's not smart in any other way. It's barely got kilometers (sub 1k) and will last me a while.
Cars have been doing this for over 20 years at this point. Buying used won't help unless you go really old.
