Becuase they know all this from your cell phone already. This is just a tool to help self driving vehicles. And I for one desperately want a self driving car. Seriously, it would be a better driver then humans, AND I could read on my way to work.

cell phones only give gps locations, and from that you can extrapolate speed. everything else they want is not available from a cell phone. which is why i prefer cars no later than the late 90s for the most part. in fact my next car will likely be something from the mid 80s as a daily driver, and any system upgrades i make will be aftermarket ones that have no data connection to the outside world.
