The big news item this week is automakers selling driving data to insurance companies for profit.

Selling driving data?

Yup, automakers, specifically GM, have been selling your driving data through a third-party data company called Lexis Nexis. This company then sells the data to insurance companies.

This can happen with or without your consent as our friends over at GM-trucks.com found out.

Also, Chaseydog, user on our forum shared with us, his monthly report and showed how vague some of the items are to understand.

This is going to be a controversial item with some people ok with it and others aren’t ok with it at all.
