the database updates will be maintained and provided in an open, unencrypted format for free

the tracking data cannot be used for any other purpose

These are mutually exclusive. If the data is open, unencrypted and freely accessible, it will be used for other purposes, by anyone who wants to.

Also, tracking every vehicle location and storing that in a centralized database is a privacy nightmare, no matter how well it's secured.

I think that they're talking about two different things there in those two different sentences.

The first is the map updates, the second the log of position data on the car.

OSM doesn't track you. The driving data could remain offline and the car can store the database locally to compare speed with what it should be at location x travelling direction y.
