Swarm intelligence ?

As much as I would really like being notified of traffic jams along my route, I cannot help but remember that there is only one thing that swarms - stinging insects.

I wonder how this will bite us down the road. We already know that OnStar uploads user driving habits whether the user agrees or not - how much more will this system slurp ?

It is supposed to be "open and independant", how does that translate into respecting privacy ?

Is it even possible to respect one's privacy when basically broadcasting one's position continuously ?
