I'm pretty sure most (all) people carry cell phones anyway so this seems rather moot. In all honesty, turning it off would probably make you stand out more than just leaving it on and/or swapping the sim card out.

I trust my phone vendor's software security competence far more than I trust my auto vendor's software security competence.

I can turn my phone off, or put it in a faraday bag, whilst traveling if I desire privacy.

I can't do that for a GSM radio built into my car if my car has to be on to drive from A to B.

I carry with me a phone with a killswitch for modem (Pinephone).
