“We will hold them accountable”: General Motors sued for selling customer driving data to third parties

Texas AG Ken Paxton sued GM and its OnStar subsidiary for allegedly collecting and monetizing Texans' driving data (e.g., speed, seatbelt status, trip details) and selling risk-based driving scores to insurers without clear consent, which allegedly influenced premium hikes and coverage decisions. The complaint cites deceptive onboarding flows and undisclosed data-sharing agreements, echoing broader concerns from Mozilla research and an ongoing U.S. Senate probe that has urged the FTC to investigate connected car privacy practices.
