Telemetry from a car is a side effect from using it rather than an intended product.

Quite the opposite. Telemetry data is an intended product, because it allows for improvements to the underlying product and much more (such as mapping, for example).

Think of it as Google Analytics. If you run a site and use Google Analytics on it, do you own the copyright of the data generated by it?
