"Privacy Battle: Lawsuit Claims Automakers Share Driver Data with Insurers"

Romeo Chicco, a Florida man, has filed a federal complaint against General Motors and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, alleging that his auto insurance rate doubled due to data collected from his 2021 Cadillac XT6 without his consent. The data, including details of 258 trips, was shared with insurers, leading to increased insurance rates. The lawsuit highlights the growing concern over data privacy as automakers share driving behavior information with the insurance industry, potentially impacting consumers' insurance costs.
