I have an old car with no advanced technology whatsoever. Could this be avoided by turning off my phone while driving, or can they still acquire data?
- Depends on what kind of data collection you want to avoid
  
  Good question. I'd mostly like to avoid entities like my car insurance provider from collecting information on my driving, things like that.
The irony of Mozilla being concerned with industry practices around privacy. Rather hypocritical considering their majority funding source.
- Um.. Its not ironic at all? Mozilla has been active and well regarded in privacy oriented spaces for many years.
