Comment on Ask HN: Where to begin in removing "safety" features from new cars?

You can eliminate most downsides by disconnecting the cellular modem. You might even be able to pull out a SIM card and be done with it.

That definitely addresses the privacy issue, but some of the automatic braking and driver awareness monitoring is a bit much for me. For example, Subaru now puts a camera in the dash that frequently scans your face and makes a beeping noise if it thinks you're not paying attention. As you can imagine, it beeps a lot.
