Unfortunately, your comment reminds me that car manufactures aren't Google or Apple either, and still it seems that modern, high-end cars have a tendency of collecting more than what's needed for the car to remain in good shape or be diagnosed. I guess we became so defeatist when more and more companies started realizing they could make extra profit by collecting data from their customers.

Of course they are google and apple. They are in an even more monopolisticaly and gov enabled market!

just look at the chinese import ban on both mobile phones and cars!
