The car company can share the details based on the chassis VIN number rather than driver details.

Then the insurance company grabs the vehicle registration number when you ask for a quote and looks up the VIN on their side based on a security database to prevent resale of stolen cars or similar.

Anonymous data becomes identifiable data...

That's hardly anonymized data! It's more obscured.
