At this early stage in attempts at even semi-autonomous driving, I fully accept that if I purchase a vehicle with the sensor array, at least that manufacturer is going to get a whole bunch of data on my typical route and driving habits. Since that data is going to ideally make the round trip into their training networks and back into safety updates for that vehicle, this seems like a fair exchange. I would be upset to hear about unethical handling of the data, but I'm not surprised that it is collected. This tech desperately needs large amounts of data for research and development. It's in a totally different space from, say, Windows telemetry, where the utility of the data outside of advertising is questionable.
