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.
