Or put better, people need to adapt to the notion that most movement in public spaces is observed by a multitude of networked devices; most of which are not under your control.
Most cars have some sort of mobile connectivity, contain at least one passenger with an active mobile phone (also GPS equipped). Cars are probably one of the more easy to track and monitor things in public spaces.
And of course, many cars on the road are also equipped with cameras that are perfectly capable of capturing things like license plates of cars around them, which are of course designed to keep track of cars. Not to mention countless cameras monitoring traffic, speed limits, etc.
Most privacy protection is going to have to come from laws and legislation on how to access and use tracking data. That does still exist. But it's under a lot of pressure. There's so much tech out there that avoiding being tracked is only getting harder. Tin foil hats are not quite good enough at this point.
Are you eliciting or was that just a bad choice of words?
In many languages, "if you (A) adapt to something (B)", A changes (and possibly largely tolerates) and B does not. "If you (A) adapt something (B)", B changes after your action, A does not.
I suspect GP is being downvoted because of their choise of words. As someone who also doesn't speak English as a first language I think "people need to adapt" can also be understood in a positive manner. GP seems to suggest we need laws and legislation to fix this issue, and that would lead me to assume that they mean it in the same sense as "resist". In my language I think the literal translation of how we would prhase it might also be "adapt".
