GM to pay $220 million after selling customer Smart Driver data
摘要
通用汽车因Smart Driver收集并共享驾驶数据一事与哥伦比亚特区及35个州达成和解，将支付2.2亿美元。此前有报道称，通用将相关数据提供给数据经纪商，后者转售给保险公司，部分车主因此保费上涨，并称并不知情同意此类用途。通用与OnStar去年已与FTC达成和解，禁止五年内共享部分位置与驾驶行为数据，通用也已停用Smart Driver。
General Motors marketed its Smart Driver system as a way for parents to monitor teen drivers or for adults to track their driving behavior. But in 2024, it emerged that GM had been sharing that data with brokers. Those brokers then sold the data to insurance companies, and some drivers found that their insurance became more expensive as a result. To make matters worse, many of those drivers claimed they had no knowledge of ever agreeing to share such data for such purposes.
Last year, GM and its OnStar subsidiary entered into a settlement with the FTC, prohibiting them from sharing some kinds of driver data with third parties. The settlement was finalized this January. That agreement banned the two companies from sharing geolocation data or driver behavior data for five years. At the time, GM also discontinued Smart Driver across its entire range.
Now the automaker has reached terms with the District of Columbia and 35 states after their attorneys general joined together to sue GM as well.
