Pretty sure 80s vehicles are safe as well

Most (non-luxury) cars up to the mid 2000s dont have an internet connection at all and can't functionally report home in any way. Thats about the cutoff for surveillance in vehicles as far as I know.

Jeep Wrangler deep into the mid 2010s at least.

But then you'd have to be driving a jeep 🤢

As a Wrangler owner... You're not wrong.

Even the ones that had those connections back then are probably fine now. The 3G networks they used don’t exist anymore.

That's cutting it close

I've got an 80s vehicle. While it runs fine, ABS breaks and Air Bags - preferably side curtain - would be a massive safety improvement.
