I thought it came out that employees sent the sex videos around to each other at Tesla... I could remember wrong, but that one stuck with me.

That sounds about right.
Still, they record everything. If that includes sex they aren't going to delete it.
I don't object to a car having a black box and video. I think all of the data collected should stay on the vehicle unless there is a valid warrant in the case of that vehicle being in an accident. Only relevant information shared then. Only that specific drive and maybe even not all of that. (leaving a bar looks bad even if you only ate and drank water)
I also seem to recall tesla once pulled all the data from an accident without the owners permission then told law enforcement they couldn't have it but they would tell them if they found anything they needed to know about.
The easy solution is to just buy cars that don't do any of that. The next best is to gut the car of its sensors (if you made sure it wont disable the car before purchase).
Problem solved.
The full article is pretty clear there are no options for new cars without spying. Gutting will give you a barrage of annoying alarms if things continue to work.
Keeping an old car on the road gets tough. Think simple and common as your best bet. 1/2 to pickups and camrys are probably good choices for Americans. People love their trucks so new parts manufacture continues longer than commodities cars like the camry.
I remember reading once about the idea of an "immortal car". They meant out of production but every single part was available new. I think the confirmed list was just the 57 Chevy and the highboy ford truck. 1st Gen Camaro were close but a few pieces weren't available. Those come with safety issues compared to new cars. Not a pleasant trade in the age of texting and driving.
