To what kind of insurers and where? Car insurers already get people to install spyware to observe their driving patterns, and can probably get it straight from the car company soon if not already. That's better than a one or twice removed guess.

Exactly. If they are buying it from one source, you can bet they'd buy it from another even if only to ensure the data they bought is accurate. That's also more datapoints that can be used to model the effects of being distracted or being ill on your reflexes.
What if your country bans such data collection in cars? Luckily game may still collecting and selling this while the loophole is being closed so you win years if not a decade of data.
