    Thank you for specifying that the collection of data is the problem, not just how it’s handled once collected.

    Unfortunately, disabling the SIM or wireless module in the car isn’t enough, since collected data could still be downloaded at a shop during warranty repair, or smog check, or (if you’re unlucky) post-accident inspection, or by a mileage-tracking device from an insurance company.

      Exactly! We need HIPPA style laws covering all personal data.

        I’m not sure if HIPAA requires medical providers to delete your data, let’s make certain to include that. It needs to act transitively. If you request deletion, the data must be gone from everyone they passed it on to, and so on. If they send it abroad and cannot enforce the deletion, let’s have some million-dollar fines per instance.
