I don't recall the exact article, but I believe they "crowd source" the data via repo-men & tow trucks with automatic scanners.

The wildest idea I can think of is using reverse camera on every car and recognizing the plate of the car which is tail gating you. Now, that's more interesting, but how much of a fleet you would need to track down a random car.
Not something car manufacturers would do either, even with their love of telemetry.
