    “Shockingly, GM sold this sensitive information to various third parties, including insurance companies, who used it to generate “Driving Scores” aimed at influencing insurance premiums.”

    “A customer’s Driving Score was based on a series of “factors” developed by General Motors that were supposedly indicative of “bad” driving behavior and included behavior such as (1) unique identifiers of a trip; (2) trip mileage; (3) hard braking and acceleration events; (4) speed events over 80 miles per hour; and (5) other behavior tracked by OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics (“OVD”). Under the Verisk Agreement, GM provided Verisk with the Driving Data necessary to determine whether a customer exhibited any “bad” driving behaviors,” according to the lawsuit.”

    This sensitive information includes location tracking, driving habits, personal communications within the vehicle’s system, customer ID, name, and home address.

    It's just a matter of time before the cats can be remotely stopped or turned off via software in the cops cars or at dispatch.

    The masses will not care. They are impatiently awaiting the arrival of fully self driving cars so they can 100% screen time. They don’t care about what was one of the biggest milestones in our lives.
    I was just thinking if we connected all the cars going the same place and powered them by one engine, it would probably be more efficient than a bunch of small engines. I should patent that idea before others do…
