EU is your best bet here - but frist you have to wait for the decline of the German Car Complex, so the EU is not in their pocket anymore. If it guards their marked to have high privacy standards in cars, then it will be enforced.

- gizmo 2y agoThe EU does not have a great track record with regard to privacy. "Connected cars" can easily be sold to regulators as necessary for safety. When a choice has to be made between privacy and safety (or "safety") the EU chooses safety every time. Cars will monitor driver attention, reckless driving, speeding and tattle to the manufacturer and insurance company. I expect these changes to be gradual and people will grouch about it before ultimately relenting.
