Re: Texas AG Sues GM for Illegally Selling Drivers’ Private Data
There was a bunch of talk about this stuff on the late model Camaro forum I’m on. GM selling peoples driving habits from their pony cars to insurance companies. Several people had said that they drive their cars in a very spirited manner on the streets but never had gotten any accidents or tickets but had their rates jump for no explained reason. I hope GM looses their asses on this one. Luckily my Camaro is old enough now that the onstar is no longer supported by GM. Dont need Hagerty seeing any of my shenanigans lol.

Re: Texas AG Sues GM for Illegally Selling Drivers’ Private Data
Took my truck out for some exercise yesterday. Made some "hard acceleration" runs, getting into traffic.
 No tracking involved.

Re: Texas AG Sues GM for Illegally Selling Drivers’ Private Data
I saw an article on this yesterday. It was by a lady who works in the cybersecurity field. She bought a new Toyota and turned off all the tracking... or so she thought. When she used an app to scan the data that was being transmitted, she was shocked. It wasn't just location and speed; it included things like her email address, the places she visited, and even her credit card numbers.
I have zero interest in owning a new car.

Re: Texas AG Sues GM for Illegally Selling Drivers’ Private Data
Last week I read that Ford has already developed a deal to report your vehicles law breakage directly to authorities.
This week I read automakers are about to seriously reduce top speeds in new cars, once again. You all remember the factory set speed limiters gm vehicles had back around 1990s? I know the police agencies will appreciate that. I hate that it has come to that but it is for the best overall, in the name of public safety. And anyone who carries a cell phone or such device in their car can be traced thereby tracking your car, GPS will getcha.
