This is the best summary I could come up with:
General Motors said Friday that it had stopped sharing details about how people drove its cars with two data brokers that created risk profiles for the insurance industry.
had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry.
Since Wednesday, “OnStar Smart Driver customer data is no longer being shared with LexisNexis or Verisk,” a G.M.
Romeo Chicco, a Florida man whose insurance rates nearly doubled after his Cadillac collected his driving data, filed a complaint seeking class-action status against G.M., OnStar and LexisNexis this month.
An internal document, reviewed by The Times, showed that as of 2022, more than eight million vehicles were included in Smart Driver.
An employee familiar with the program said the company’s annual revenue from Smart Driver was in the low millions of dollars.
