You're not wrong about them in theory having all the data they need to identify out of warranty cars. But if they are legitimately identifying out of warranty cars (I suspect they're not), then that doesn't give them the right to publicly broadcast the information to the wider world. Which I suspect is the crux of this issue.
- gambiting 6y agoBut again, it depends what sort of information is broadcast. If the bilboard says "hey, driver of BMW reg number EK16 WHD, your warranty is expired!" then that's definitely a problem. But if all that happens is a generic BMW warranty bilboard appears whenever an out-of-warranty car drives past "hey, is your BMW warranty expired? Extend today!" then it's probably ok legally.

"Try out the hot new vegan restaurant, het 10% discount when you show your BMW key. 2 miles away, navigate there, Y/N?". Replace vegan with steak, etc, depending on the profile. Driving to a residential address in an expensive part of town around dinner time? "Last minute dinner party gift idea: blah blah wines. Shop is en-route, navigate there, Y/N?".
