I don't think regulation is ineffective as a whole, but I do think that regulation won't be able to curb the industry's hunger for data or its incompetence in how it collects it. I believe this is the case because the industry will fight just as vigorously to collect this data while regulators will be less invested in stopping it. I believe regulators will be less invested in stopping it because there has been a steady degradation in our expectation of privacy in this area since smart phones. Any auto industry lobbyist just has to point out that tracking your driving habits and selling that data to insurance companies is little different from what google and apple already do.
