None of those things sounds like stuff the government would have a hand in, unless you live in some communist country where the taxis are state-owned?

That'd probably be nice.

A capitalist, or as in this case, fascist, state might figure out all sorts of interesting things from mass surveillance, such as who might be disloyal, who is eligible for eugenic culling, who might be fun to deport, and who is vulnerable to sticks or carrots or both and could do something for the state that the state does not want to do directly.
