It depends more on where the photo is taken. If it's outside in what's considered the "public realm," a car company can't do anything about it, except maybe ask that it be removed. What's the public realm? A good example is a photographer can stand out in the street in front of your house and take a picture. He can't, however, go around to the alley and take a picture of the back of your house. The latter case would be considered "invasion of privacy." The public realm is pretty much whatever can be seen from a typical street. See what 32 years in the newspaper business teaches you?
