The tragedy is that while it's no doubt possible to remove (or disable) all that tracking junk you don't want from your car, we're still carrying around phones that more often than not are full of tracking crap. And they're even extra useful in cars, since the car's navigation and entertainment systems tend to be crap compared to what phones have.

You can hack and customize a "phone" minicomputer, and I believe you can still find pure cellular telephones with basic OS in case you prefer to keep telephony and personal assistant separate; I am not informed that you can do the same with cars, and I very surely do not want an internet connected door, fridge, vehicle, wife to begin with.

The more reliable it has to be, the least possibly connected you want it.

I am not sure it is so possible to remove or disable the «junk you don't want from your car». Already for the mentioned 'e-call', that law mandated that it has to be installed and cannot be removed by the user - only by the manufacturer. And you will very probably have to struggle to get that done ("We cannot" // "Yes you must" etc). I suppose those vehicles will have a high degree of integration - you cannot just remove pieces.

If you do any sort of that you are instantly marking yourself as suspect

First of all: why should there be any doubt that one is strictly, radically unavailable for lunacies, abuse and undignified conditions. This should be very public, because the opposite is having the abuse proliferate.

Secondly: you may have given one State authority over some conditional monitoring, but we have not allowed any such power to any private party.
