How bad is Android Auto for privacy on a stock Pixel phone. What can the car and car vendor get access to.

I've found that if my VPN is disconnected when I first connect to Android Auto, connecting it after the fact won't cause it to freak out.

My VPN automatically turns on when I'm connected to anything but my home network, so if I start my car at home, when I lose wifi and connect to the cell network I don't have issues.
