Texas sued General Motors and its OnStar unit, alleging they used vehicle telematics from 2015+ models to collect and sell detailed driving data (e.g., trip times, speed, GPS, seatbelt status) to analytics firms and insurers without informed consent, violating state consumer protection laws; the complaint cites partnerships with Verisk, LexisNexis, Wejo, and Jacobs, claims millions of affected drivers and financial gains for GM, and notes GM has since ended OnStar Smart Driver and some data-sharing deals amid regulatory and public scrutiny.
