Will the impersonal multinational corporations that control the software in you car be looking out for your best interests?
Will the data collected about you and your behavior be used in ways that never go against your best interests?
Can individual software developers and teams working for these corporations do much about this if they disagree with it?
The answer to these and many other related questions is probably not.
Little by little, we human beings are gradually building a panopticon monitored by machines under the control of corporate organisms whose behavior is beyond the control of most human beings. As an example, think about about all the people at Google who have tried, mostly without success, to prevent it from acting like every other impersonal corporation. There's nothing preventing it.
