I don't think Apple cares about privacy, I think it's just a convenient selling point since they don't have an advertising program. That said, they are less intrusive than Google by a mile.
Apple’s business isn’t built around advertising. That’s literally the biggest reason is better to use than any google product.
If you need a level of privacy that goes beyond even Apple’s abstraction of location data, then you’re best off not connecting a smart phone to a car at all, and using offline maps.
