The data available via CANBUS isn’t something that is available basically anywhere else, and has the benefit of probably half a dozen cameras pointed at you, and your garage and house, and every person you drive by on the street and every place you go. They could determine if you saw a billboard on your drive to work. They could ID you walking into an abortion clinic across state lines or hear you picking up your prescription at the pharmacy.
Your car (especially one marketed with ‘smart’ features) is basically a giant collection of sensors and cameras. I’m not saying that it’s worse, but adding all that data in with all your other data certainly IS worse.
