Yes, they can get it. However, government can get more data to start with. Or at least, that has been the case: I'm incredibly worried about self-driving cars.

This is not for the usual reasons (safety etc.): I am concerned that they record everything they see in neighborhoods and areas not under surveillance normally. This is seriously, seriously bad. We don't want private companies watching everything we do. They photograph license plates, and can use it to track who we are and where we go. How long until recaptcha involves transcribing a license plate number?
