The post reports that several automakers (e.g., G.M., Honda, Kia, Hyundai) collect detailed driving behavior via connected-car app features and share it with data brokers like LexisNexis, which then pass it to insurers; although presented as optional, consent is often buried in fine print and opaque privacy policies, leaving many drivers unaware of this surveillance-driven data flow.
