Why would They (who is that??) need to track you in the first place?

Good question. Some of us old guys have a limited attention span when watching a video. That’s why a brief synopsis of any video is always appreciated.

“They”: GM, Ford, Chrysler-Dodge (Stellantis), VW, Toyota, Honda, etc, etc..

All new cars have GPS built in along with “black box” recorders, digital Infotainment screen radios, in-vehicle WiFi/Internet, etc.. Manufacturers can (and do) sell information derived from these systems (location, driving habits, accessory/software/radio/streaming use, etc.) to 3rd parties like insurance companies, advertisers, etc.. See the linked video for more details from lawyer Steve Lehto.

I track my car when it goes into the shop.

,,, UN agenda 2030. Fifteen minutes cities and all that. The quiet reason for huge data warehouses and billions of dollars being spent on them.

Because you’re now less a customer and more a product.
