geolocating the car and making the price go x1000 if in a “no honking” zone

also i don't like this, imagine living two blocks from a hospital and getting fined when you honked in front of your house because the gps was still calibrating

You think I'm joking, but car insurance companies are going to do all of these things, and not for public health. Smart cars are especially big leaks of personal data.
