Yesterday The New York Times unveiled that General Motor's had accidentally enrolled millions of people into its "OnStar Smart Driver+" program. If consumers chose to not enroll through the phone app – it would do it anyways.
Unenrolling requires consumers to contact OnStar customer support line. However, some people do not trust them and have turned to stripping the electronic devices from their car.
The OnStar Smart Driver+ data was being sold to LexisNexis, and insurance companies, to modify insurance rates. The data sold was invasive and logged:
- Number of trips
- Miles driven
- Minutes driven
- Hard-brake vents
- Rapid accelerates
- Speeding events
The reporter from the New York Times requested a copy of their data and received it. See attached image.
