Automakers Share Driving Data with Insurers, Sparking Privacy Concerns

A recent investigation reveals that car manufacturers, including General Motors, are covertly sharing detailed driving data with insurance companies, leading to increased premiums for some drivers.

General Motors and other automakers are selling detailed driving data to insurance companies, affecting individual insurance rates.
Drivers are often unaware their driving habits are being monitored and shared, with consent buried in fine print.
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.
