I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest very few people will own an autonomous vehicle and will probably rent/lease them instead, which solves the problem neatly, if it happens.

If you don't actually own the thing, then it's harder to claim the data is yours.

Neatly for manufacturers. If the users don't own the vehicle, the data remains the property of the manufacturers or the business renting them to users (though I'd bet most of it would belong to the manufacturers).
