Most newer cars already do this ,, simply buffers the data in the drivetrain and ABS computers ... the cost is minimal as memory (and that’s all we’re really talking about is a slightly larger non-volatile memory chip) is cheap..

someone’s going to make money “fixing” these...

There will be an opportunity to make money for someone who comes up with a way to neutralize these boxes without affecting the car’s operation. I sure don’t want the government to have access to all this data, or someone else who snoops for some nefarious purpose.

Yes, any vehicle with an OBD-II data port has this capability. From around 1996 on, the capability of law enforcement and/or your insurer to obtain data from your vehicle is mentioned in the operator's manual.
