Best to switch off all advertising and maybe even remove your personal Google Account from the car itself to avoid ad tracking.
Using Android Auto is still fine - no breadcrumbs passed to the car's Google system to track you 😂 You can put the car's Google system into offline mode and just use Android Auto, which still works well and allows map details to show up on the driver's display in full screen mode.
