So why does that equate to "tracking"? First, you don't absolutely need GPS to implement a self-driving car, any more than (intelligent) humans need GPS to drive. You can always go IFR (I Follow Roads :-), with a built-in map.
Second, even if you have GPS in your car (or on your phone, tablet, or whatever), the GPS itself is read-only. Only if your device is somehow programmed to transmit the position computed from the GPS signals could some other entity use it for tracking.
