Here's an article from a few years back, from Toyota publicly stating they won't support Android Auto due to privacy concerns[1]
It's not just Amazon/Google, car manufacturers like Hyundai are selling data to Verisk, a data broker, who in-turn sells the individuals driving data to insurance companies and other entities [2]. They get people to "opt-in" by offering people free 'connected services' which has data-sharing buried in the T&C.
I'm sure other manufacturers are also going to do similar things as this allows them to generate additional, incremental revenue from user data about their end users.
