This is not a technical document which outlines which models _can_ collect or even _what_ is collected. It's just a list of what each manufacturer's lawyers thought they needed to put in their privacy policy. In the Nissans for instance, the S and SV models don't even have telematics systems. I've got a Frontier S, and I'm not even sure it has any kind of voice controls. It might have a mic for phone calls, but there's no GPS or modem in the vehicle. Same was true with my wife's base model Nissan Leaf. That Mozilla document doesn't do anything to actually explain which models of cars either do not have telematics, or which telematics can be be successfully disabled. (for details on disabling Telematics in the Ford Maverick, see this thread: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/experience-w...)
I only happen to know about Nissan and the Ford Maverick because I was buying a truck and my research narrowed me down to those two models. I'll bet the story is similar in at least some other models from other manufacturers. Perhaps in other manufacturers, there is also a fuse, or perhaps the modem / GPS are simply easy to get to, and do not cause problems when removed? People post that useless Mozilla article as is if it actually conveys any information, but we need real, actual information when it comes to privacy.
Sorry ED but the Sep 2023 articles from Mozilla are so useful, in fact, that when I speak to the "people in the street" they don't know it, and have no idea of the situation - and they the people who feed the phenomenon by not saying no to all that is happening and NO to the whole idea. They promote it with their own money, unaware. They must be woken up. The article is there so that you can tell people "did you know?". I posted it here often, whenever it was possible that some participants had not noticed it.
It does not list models which would pass the test, but it is not its purpose.
And it is difficult to list them models, given that in Europe the e-Call box, GPS and microphone, are mandated by law on all models past 2018 (it should turn on only upon disaster but guess what), and cars (which ones? It's everywhere) stop working when you try to remove it.
