Of course, there are benefits too. Internet-connected cars can be more convenient. The sensors they bristle with can make driving safer and more comfortable. Insurance companies could decide to charge you less because you're such a good driver.

Yeah, that's not how insurance companies work. That "could" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
