> Are the microphones in vehicles actively listening to conversations and shipping them off for analysis? Or is this all purely hypothetical (i.e., they say they have the right to use it, so clearly they must be trying to acquire it...)?
All data that they can acquire will be acquired because data can be sold, leading to higher quarterly profits. There are almost no other considerations.
