Translation: It is 100% legal for car companies (and by extension just about any company) to, when you connect your phone to them, to download your call and text history and then sell it.

By extension, that means it is 100% legal for anyone, including any branch of any government to get a copy of your call and text history.

The "always" in your comment is only a few decades old. This scale of data collection simply hasn't been possible before.
