MODERATORS
Insurance companies in some countries give you a discount if you agree to put a tracker on your car...
Or use their app on your phone, which will "detect your driving patterns" and adjust your rates accordingly.
But honestly, even without all that, modern cars already have trackers and Internet connections even without your knowledge. (Mine did a couple of impromptu OTA updates for the media center at the beginning. It also has an SOS button on the roof, which you need to be subscribed to use, but can activate the subscription through the button. This implies there is a GPS tracker, as well as a cellular connection).
