"GM officials were quick to point out that PDR is self-contained and removing the SD card ensures no data (other than standard OEM "blackbox" data) is stored in the car or shared wirelessly."
So your concern is only partly warranted.

We also imagine that, in conjunction with other systems, GM will showcase the PDR when the 2015 Corvette Z06 takes a particularly "spirited" drive from a certain "Bridge to Gantry" in Germany. Wink, wink.
Barring all this, they also said that periodic updates to the PDR will be available through Cosworth Toolbox -- where GM might even loosen the reins on the CAN stream allowing for even more car-generated data to be viewed in the Toolbox; tire pressures, oil/coolant temperatures, and so on might pop up in the days to come.
A final note: Cosworth says that while PDR is for now available only on these two Corvettes, it has, by no means, an exclusive relationship with GM and welcomes other vehicle manufacturers' cooperation in the future. Y'think other sports cars manufacturers will be calling Cosworth -- or developing their own data recorders? Either way, driving enthusiasts win.
