OfflineAuto.org: A Privacy-First Vehicle for the Future – Minimalist, Modular, and Truly Independent

Salzburg, May 19, 2025 – With OfflineAuto.org, a bold new mobility project is launched to rethink the modern automobile from the ground up. The goal: to develop a privacy-first vehicle that is open to multiple drive technologies, radically minimalist in design, and completely independent from internet connectivity or cloud-based systems.

In a world of increasingly connected cars that collect, store, and transmit user data, OfflineAuto.org is pioneering a different path. This vehicle eliminates the need for built-in entertainment, navigation, or voice assistant systems. Instead, it leverages what users already have – their own smartphone or tablet – for media, navigation, and communication. This ensures full data ownership and continuity, even when switching vehicles.

Core Principles of OfflineAuto.org:

• Privacy by Design: No cloud access, no telemetry, no silent data transmission – the car runs completely offline.
• Open to All Drive Technologies: Whether electric, hydrogen, biofuel, or hybrid – the project is technology-agnostic and modular by nature.
• Minimalist Interior: No bloated digital interfaces or proprietary systems – just essential, user-focused, repair-friendly features.
• Modular and Adaptable Body Design: The car’s physical form is flexible, allowing adaptation for different needs and use cases.
• User-Owned Digital Experience: Music, navigation, communication – all run on your own device. No data trail, no setup process, no manufacturer lock-in.

"We’re not building a car for the cloud – we’re building a car for people who want to drive without being tracked,” says a spokesperson for OfflineAuto.org. “This project is about reclaiming digital autonomy on the road.”

OfflineAuto.org is an open and collaborative initiative, driven by experts in automotive design, cybersecurity, open-source software, and sustainable transport. It is a response to growing concerns about digital surveillance, planned obsolescence, and manufacturer dependence.

The project invites participation from all sectors – whether developers, DIYers, workshops, or mobility providers who want to shape a truly independent vehicle.
