You have some answers but what makes it extremely juicy is that if effectively is the same as a tracker when the person who stalks you knows you have an iphone.

If they throw it under your car for instance, your phone will always show where your driving and you most likely will never hear any chirps coming from it.

Except you will soon get an alert that an unknown AirTag is following you.[0]

Even if you don't have an iPhone, as soon as someone who does have one steps into your car and you drive them somewhere, they will get the alert and you will find out.
