In general, digital privacy invasions have been very successful because of attrition.

Most people don’t care, those that do hold out, but then every competitor does the same and you no longer have any real alternatives. Eventually, the hold outs need to replace [car in this case] and the sting of the objectiknable change has faded, and they just move on.

Rinse and repeat.

We lost the fight for meaningful net neutrality, basic digital privacy rights, broadband limits, etc.

They’ll win this one too. Eventually. Your phones and IoT with microphones are already doing it.
