• A Chevrolet Bolt owner's insurance increased by 21% due to a detailed report on his driving habits shared by GM with LexisNexis.
• Automakers claim to have drivers' consent for data sharing, but the practice has raised significant privacy and trust concerns.
• Investigations and regulatory scrutiny are underway to examine the implications of this covert data sharing.
