They're already paying all the manufacturers for the driver telemetry anyway, probably through third party brokers because everything must be obfuscated.

I think they like having multiple layers of confirmation that way if one is regulated away for some reason like 'privacy' or 'technically anyone could be driving' then they have fallbacks and legal deniability for the data being inherently flawed.
