Automatic emergency braking is a pretty standard/available feature on a lot of cars.

Not sure about the privacy invasion part? I believe a lot of cars with AEB don’t have cellular connections so how could they invade privacy? I’m thinking of stuff like Honda Sensing or Subaru EyeSight here, or whatever Toyota puts on the Prius.

Not an expert on car hardware. However, I do know it is difficult to buy a car without computers in everything. Computers that record tons of data. Just because they don't have modems doesn't mean they don't spill everything at the dealer/smog-check when the cable is connected.

In electric cars such as Tesla, all this has been accelerated. In a recent thread, folks told stories of buying a used car, and receiving the PII and driving history of the previous owner.

It is also used against you, but never for you in regards to law-enforcement. Good reason to be skeptical.
