You must mean two multinational companies. One of them can cross-reference against a wast body of data.

Err, both of them can in practice, the only difference is whether the data is bought or self-collected.

In practice Volvo would probably just sell the data to others (i'm pretty sure they already do sell it to everyone from insurance carriers to you name it), and Google would probably just keep it.

I'd leave these shanaigans to Volvo and Google. Why would a consumer want make life easier for them?
