For a few years now, every new car sold in the EU needs a cellular connection for e-call (when airbags are deployed, the car calls 112 itself) functionality. I don't know if it's legal or common to reuse that radio for collecting other data. I would hope not.

Damn, that sucks. Hope my current car lasts a long time then... It even has buttons and everything.

My guess would be that when you first get it/boot it, you'll at least get a choice between accepting it or not, that would be the baseline.
