the verbiage is crappy and vague, but I can see a use if you need support or help and they want to give you a personable experience. That said, this issue is two-fold...it is very easy to get riled up about security (especially as it seems we lose more and more freedoms each day to "securing" our nation). On the other hand, this offers them the ability to improve the customer experience. They just could not have picked a worse way to introduce the device, especially since they are not ready to publicly talk about its use-cases.
A definite gray middle-area, but technically you do not own the car and it is their property. If you want to rent the car then they definitely can record its use to ensure that damages were not from a dog pissing on the seat vs. "i spilled some juice"
