The article you just linked retracts itself by calling data collection "utter bullshit". It seems that your desire to attack Google overrode actually reading what you post.
>Steering this story straight - we take privacy very seriously and do not collect the data the Motor Trend article claims such as throttle position, oil temp and coolant temp. Users opt in to share information with Android Auto that improves their experience, so the system can be hands-free when in Drive, and provide more accurate navigation through the car’s GPS.
"pretty much bullshit" (not "utter bullshit") is AP's characterization of Google's response to the article. It was not retracted.
