This is the danger of China dominating electric vehicles in the future, which is to say China will dominate most of the car industry in the future, because EVs are the future of all cars.
Obviously, this isn't just about the spying and China "invading your privacy". If they have access to the car data, they probably have remote access to other components in the cars, too. Baidu's open source Apollo program is another trojan hourse that the China government would like the western markets to adopt.

IMHO the danger is not just limited to China, but anyone putting these kinds of invasive technologies into cars, without the car owner having any control over it.
