People who would buy such data don’t care about getting it for every individual. They’re perfectly happy if they can get it for merely 99.999% of people, and that they can do with cellphone app data.

So they don’t need car data. My car maker does not sell its data nor does it link car locations with car owners. Although it could do so, but not without some bad PR or legal risks of doing it secretly after having made assurances that it doesn’t do it.

But that gets back to who would buy it? Nobody. They already have all the data they need from phones.
