You can pay with cash at a gas station.

Many smaller gas stations don't have automated license plate scanning systems to track customers. I'm not even sure if bigger gas stations do it.

    It's not the gas station that is tracking you. It's the Flock cameras.

    So I guess we don't have to worry about privacy in cars. Since everyone is tracked anyway being tracked by your car doesn't change anything.

    also your phone...

    But the car tracking you is another source of much more individualised data, and recordings of your conversations inside the car is much easier with better mics that a lot of cars have than a phone mic ...

    Also it's one more party collecting the data so more risk of leaks etc.
