GM quickly announced a halt to data sharing in late March, days after the Times' reporting sparked considerable outcry. GM had been sending data to both Verisk and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, the latter of which is not signaling any kind of retreat from the telematics pipeline.
LexisNexis' telematics page shows logos for carmakers Kia, Mitsubishi, and Subaru.
Not good enough. GM has no legitimate business collecting the data to begin with.
Think they'll honor it?
It depends on if customers punish the remaining sellers
Dang, I was considering getting a Subaru, but I guess I'll reconsider.
Good! Keep boycotting those terrible legacy automakers who refuse physical buttons and electrifying their product lines.
Now do the same to LexisNexis and the rest
Think of the poor shareholders!!
Oh no, what a loss.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Verisk, which had collected data from cars made by General Motors, Honda, and Hyundai, has stopped receiving that data, according to The Record, a news site run by security firm Recorded Future.
While the data was purportedly coming from an opt-in "Smart Driver" program in GM cars, many customers reported having no memory of opting in to the program or believing that dealership salespeople activated it themselves or rushed them through the process.

Disclosure of GM's stealthily authorized data sharing has sparked numerous lawsuits, investigations from California and Texas agencies, and interest from Congress and the Federal Trade Commission.
