Is Your Car Spying on Your Driving Habits for Your Insurance Company?

Internet-connected vehicles, such as certain Chevrolet models with OnStar Smart Driver service, are collecting data on driving habits and sharing it with data broker LexisNexis, which works with insurance companies to adjust coverage. Some drivers have reported significant increases in insurance costs and discovered detailed reports on their driving habits. General Motors confirmed sharing "select insights" with LexisNexis and emphasized that Smart Driver is an optional service requiring customer consent. Concerns about privacy and data sharing have arisen, prompting some drivers to seek ways to unenroll from the service.
