To Clarify this topic. This is based on a Lawsuit between a consumer, GM, and Lexis Nexis. On the consumer side they had purchased a car (With no notification of data selling) signed up for the Cadillac app, and after signing up was notified of "On-Star Services" and to push a blue button to activate. The consumer alleged a statement of fact they did not push the button. The consumer began to receive diag data from Onstar/Caddy, however was not aware of data sharing to third parties. When the consumer went to renew their insurance, the providers denied his renewal; perplexed he asked why he had been rejected; the insurance cited a Lexis Nexis report; this report showed three events, 2 rapid accelerations and one hard braking. the consumer connected the dots, alleged and retains the fact they never signed up, and now there is a class action lawsuit.
Companies like Lexis Nexis, connect vehicles to current drivers through polling vehicle registration data.

I like they way companies say "users agreed to this... " ... as in, you buy your stupidly expensive car with it's stupidly expensive infotainment system which then says "unless you press this button, you can't use anything with a screen in this car you just bought" the moment you try to drive it off the lot.

The thing about companies is that they don't care about breaking the law. The amount of money they have to pay in fines is something they factor into just doing business! If they make lets say $50 million dollars selling people's data and have to pay $5-20 million in fines its not going to concern them one bit! Every large corporation does this, it's just how the corporate world works, and this is something that people should be painfully aware about!
Fines doesn't work, not when they are so low they can absorb that amount as just doing business! If they get hit with a massive amount of money, then yeah perhaps but even then I very much doubt these gigantic corporations care all that much! 🤔

There needs to be new laws put in place to protect peoples data and severe consequences for companies found guilty of breaking them. The fines should be large enough to cause a company to go bankrupt. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with bankruptcy either. Companies and people need to fear the law and the consequences of breaking them. Fine the executives, ceos, and shareholders. I dont care. Dire measures need to be done.

0% surprised, my acura is from 2007. Onboard telemetry became standard in 2018. I remmeber a story where a man who had some drinks at a party decided he wasn't safe to drive after all and pulled off the road onto the dirt shoulder (country road). His car registered this as a "leaving roadway" accident and dispatched fire ambulance and police to come and arrest a sleeping irresponsible man. However I never forgot the part about the car dispatching emergency services. Saw this coming a parsec away.
