That’s somewhat weird to me a tradeoff is necessary at all. Almost all the stuff mentioned (except “verifying the speed limit from your GPS position”) is perfectly doable offline without sending stuff to their servers. Yeah, sure, they need “data” to improve the technology, but I fail to see how exactly that’s my problem: I pay for a car, not for the pleasure of participating in a research they do to make it work.
