There are a lot of great rebuttals out there to this attitude. I think Snowden voiced a great one about privacy - "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say,". I hope you can figure out how that can be applied to this too... But to point out the obvious it's not just about what you do/say while you are driving but also where you go, when, and with who to name a few things.

But you're in public, why would you have any expectation of privacy?

  Oh wow, you have me there.... Except we somehow still allow legal action on people for stalking others, even if they are just following them around in public spaces. I can imagine you as the defense lawyer saying "but she was in public your honor...". To be clear I'm only addressing the moral aspect of your point. I don't care about the legality. For example, It's very different to argue that since I am in public I don't have the right to not be photographed compared to arguing that I don't have the right to not be tracked. These public transit systems have tracking built in from the start. At least stuff like traffic cams that are just bolted on to infrastructure can be fought
