Yeah, that's reasonable to explain many things for well equipped cars, but the genetic information??

Yeah, that's a good question. Maybe the steering wheel absorbs and tests the driver's sweat? Lol this sounds overboard, and almost certainly it is, but I can't think of anything that would warrant that part

Haha, yep, it would also be unreasonably expensive, but who knows?
Maybe they get that by correlating your profile with data of some entity that does have it, because it was collected and shared by a health company you might used services from. No amount of tinfoil hats will protect us

We need tinfoil gloves!
