  Early warnings of dementia or even eyesight problems - both of those are likely to lead to a change in driving style with more pronounced braking as the driver reacts slower to events. It would make sense to anonymise the data before sending it to the government and the point of the data is to identify road congestion and problematic junctions. It could also feed into better tracking of traffic lights timings etc. None of those uses have a requirement to know whether it's Mr Jones in his red Corsa or Mrs Malaprop in her SUV.

    location data is basically impossible to anonymise: if you have a record of someone's movements over any more than a day you can almost certainly work out where they live and work, for example. When it comes to personal data you can't just wave an anonymisation wand and say it's definitely OK now, you need to think carefully about the exact case, and especially the more data that is collected the more difficult it is to actually keep things private.
