Actually, unless you dispute their factual claims about how it happened
it seems perfectly plausible to me that it was a mistake.


Apparently, gathering MAC addresses was no accident.  Combined with
location information from the car, wouldn't that allow tracing the
whereabouts of mobile devices in some cases?

It's been reported that the excess collection amounted to 600 GB over
3 years.  To put this in perspective, I probably wouldn't notice if I
retained 60 GB of unnecessary personal email (such as spam) during
that time period. 8-/
