Edit: Just asked because of curiosity. I’m not actually looking for such vehicles.
Edit 2: So for context, my parents new Toyota has this feature that allows the GPS location of the car to be sent to toyota, then you can see the location via an app on android/ios (it’s supposed to be an anti-theft feature). The data is sent via an antenna that connects to cell towers, which then connects to the internet, and to the toyota servers. “Diagnostic” and “maintenance” information is also sent via those same antennas.
The dealer said it could be turned off, but who knows if they are really off. There’s not a hard switch on the car.
This is a thing near the border us/Mexico border.
Not a political theme. Border is sensitive.
But drug lords in Mexico pay folks in the US to pick up/drop off people who are illegally crossing on foot all day long.
They buy cars for strangers to use once, and abandon. As a burner shuttle.
So, don’t drive a car with temporary license plates near the border if you don’t want attention.
I’m Australian, what’s a border? ;)
