What does Lexus do with your data?
Our cars are collecting all kinds of information on us, what are they using the data for? Are they selling it?
Do we have the option to opt out?

Yes, they do sell your data to "affiliates" (basically anybody willing top pay for it).
Here is more info.

The best part is "Nissan earned its second-to-last spot for collecting some of the creepiest categories of data we have ever seen. It’s worth reading the review in full, but you should know it includes your “sexual activity.” Not to be out done, Kia also mentions they can collect information about your “sex life” in their privacy policy."

Shocking revelations from this. Especially the part about using the microphone to listen/data mine your conversations. But don't expect any government privacy regulations in this area, the corporations have long since bought off the political class to zero out any right to online privacy. Short of buying and running an older car with no microphones or GPS, etc - there isn't much you can do.
