The two things in the headline are not at all related. Car manufacturers just see an opportunity to dip into the data market to make even more money and an opportunity to sell subscriptions. None of that is about keeping people safe.

But because they both exist in the same car, same purchase, I don’t think it’s wrong to compare the two. Is it worth the safety to deal with the data privacy issues until laws and regulation catch up? As a solo person, no. If I were putting kids in my car? It would be hard to not be purchasing the safest vehicle out there even with the privacy issues.
