GM to Pay 220 Million Dollars to Settle Claims It Sold Drivers Driving Data
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced GM will pay 220 million dollars to settle a joint lawsuit from 36 state attorneys general over its alleged sale of drivers' driving data. From 2016 to 2024, GM tracked millions of drivers through its Smart Driver program while promising not to sell the data to insurers without explicit consent, but in fact sold it to data brokers, and insurers sometimes used driving behavior to adjust premiums. Why it matters: it is one of the largest connected-car privacy settlements, and it sets a consent bar for how automakers collect and share driving and location data.
