[01/02] Car manufacturers tell purchasers that they intend to collect wide varieties of personal data:
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/06/cars-collect-extensive-personal-data-on-drivers-study-warns Most say they will sell the data and use it against the purchaser.
I can see why the company would like to get information about the owner's sex life and politics. What I don't see is how they can make the car get that sort of information for them, Perhaps they hope to trade car data with other snooping companies for that data.
