Gm Cuts Ties With Data Collecting Firms After Selling Driver’s Information

US automotive giant General Motors has ended its partnerships with two major data brokers, after it was accused of sharing information on drivers without their consent.

Earlier this month, The Recent York Times published an in-depth investigation a few Chevrolet Bolt owner who had been quoted a significantly higher insurance renewal premium, later discovering his driving data was being sold to insurance firms by data broker LexisNexis.

This was followed by a second report, detailing a proposed class motion lawsuit recommend by a Cadillac XT6 owner who claimed he was denied insurance by seven firms on account of his LexisNexis driving report provided to the firms.

The Cadillac’s owner – Romeo Chicco – filed the lawsuit against General Motors, LexisNexis and OnStar, GM’s connected services brand.

Within the wake of the reports, The Recent York Times reports General Motors had ended its partnership with each LexisNexis and Verisk, an identical company which also sold driving data to insurance firms.

“OnStar Smart Driver customer data is not any longer being shared with LexisNexis or Verisk,” said a press release from General Motors to the publication.

“Customer trust is a priority for us, and we’re actively evaluating our privacy processes and policies.”

In response to The Recent York Times, an internal document circulated inside General Motors showed greater than eight million vehicles were actively supplying data through OnStar’s Smart Driver program as of 2022.

While OnStar has maintained signing as much as its Smart Driver service is voluntary, Mr Chicco’s proposed class motion claims he never voluntarily agreed to have his driving data recorded and distributed.

“GM’s OnStar Smart Driver service is optional to customers,” a spokesperson told the publication earlier this month.

“Customer advantages include learning more about their protected driving behaviours or vehicle performance that, with their consent, could also be used to acquire insurance quotes. Customers may unenroll from Smart Driver at any time.”

OnStar was planned to roll out in Australia through the brand new Holden Equinox in 2018, though this was later delayed to 2021. Holden’s closure on December 31, 2020 prevented the connected services system from being launched locally.

While General Motors currently sells the Chevrolet Silverado pickup and Corvette sports automotive in Australia, OnStar isn’t offered in either vehicle.

It’s not yet clear whether the upcoming relaunch of Cadillac or the arrival of the GMC Yukon will bring OnStar to the local market.
