I guess I’d like to believe car telemetry is governed like any other resource police have access to. Investigators can ask email services for logs, phone providers for location data, banks for transaction records, but would all require a warrant.
Owner consent changes the discussion significantly, especially with something this time sensitive. If my kid is kidnapped I absolutely want them to get access as quickly as possible, not waste time waiting on a judge. That should include cooperation and reactivating an expired subscription as part of supporting the investigation.
You’re assuming you still own your personal information… You should, but in reality you don’t (stated in this specific context, but I do mean it in a broader sense as well. Much broader than should be) .
They don’t need a warrant if the company consents… Its your personal information, but the company owns it. They can and do sell it, and the decision on wether to give it to law enforcement is on them.

I take it you haven’t seen the latest articles on police access to prescriptions……
It all depends on the company deciding that they value your privacy over government money.
