no, but you do leave hair all over a car, and it's easy enough to imagine a "roomba for a car" service that automatically cleans the seats and upholstry, etc. and collect your hair samples for further analysis while it's doing its thing in order to up sell you on other services (for example, if it can identify biological sex from hair samples, it can feed the ads for products it thinks this person wants to the headunit, etc)

you can sequence hair fragments & folicles and saliva to get biological identifying materials.

A lot of employers will ask for hair fragments to test for drugs. a car can easily collect hair and then test for presence of drugs and send this information to your insurer so they can jack up your rates and deny your claims based on the idea that you're a periodic drug user, identified by biological materials collected from the car.
