I suppose you can argue that's a privacy issue too (and I'm sure replies to this comment will), but it's not location tracking and it's unhelpful to try to suggest, as this article and you do, that it is.
Again, if people want to have a reasonable discussion about what data is appropriate for vehicle operators to retain, I think there's a space for it. But starting with "radical scope" in the headline of an article that doesn't really detail anything radical is a bad start to the debate.

You want this to be true, so you imagine ways in which it must be true that don't match any known system. Is it really so unimaginably hard to believe that a company would... just honor its privacy policy in good faith? Really?
