When I bought my Hyundai they pushed fucking hard to sign up for their Blue link product. Free for life! Look, map updates! You can personalize your driver profile pic! Want to remote start your car over the Internet?
Luckily, my VIN wasn't working for registration (I guess it hadn't quite gone through fast enough that the car was purchased). I've gone two months without BlueLink and I'm hoping that's saving me from some of the info gathering (or at least it's not directly linked to me.

Free for life? Here is always been free for only the first few years of ownership and then you pay, plus the system is fucking terrible and doesn't work half the time.

Man, Waymo was one of the more exciting things I was looking forward to, but I guess I should have waited for the other shoe to drop. Disappointing.
Owned by Google. Unfortunately it was never going to be without data collection.

The sad part is there's almost certainly demand for an app that would let you remote start your car and use other built-in features without the associated tracking, but unfortunately the only way a 3rd party app can do it without installing an expensive 2 way alarm system or similar device, is by using the manufacturer's APIs, which means the car has to be connected to the manufacturer

Yeah, evidently they really, really want you to sign up. They upped the period from the first three years to as long as you own the car (it doesn't transfer to a new owner if you sell it).
