alt Hacker News>There where A LOT of access points named "Audi", "BMW", "Tesla" etc.
That's one of the funniest things about wardriving with Wigle on your phone. I can often see the SSID of "Jennifer's Equinox", "Jacks Suburban" right after I get cut off by someone in said vehicle. The vast majority of car bluetooth/wifi I see tends to have varying amounts of identifying information. It's almost as bad as the fact that apple still defaults to Jacks iPhone/iPad etc with no option to rename the device until you've finished setting it up.
Companies are not out to protect us with default settings and the majority of users need to wake up to this fact.

What would be next level wardriving would be to break into their Bluetooth and have a conversation about their driving habits.
It can be done, relatively easily.
This might just be me being uninformed as someone who doesn't drive but how are you seeing what wifi networks are available so quickly right after being cut off? My very naive instinct is that looking at your phone or opening up a menu with the available wifi networks on your car's display seems like it would require a noticeable decrease in attention to the road, so I'd almost expect an uptick in being cut off from other people who are annoyed with your driving.
