You can actually opt out of this. When doing your Onstar tell them you want to opt out of reporting to insurance. When the dealership pre-registers your Onstar while you're signing paperwork they have the option to opt out then. They just usually and lazily accept everything to get it done.

I don't know. I don't want to feel like somebody I don't know is in my truck with me.

Yeah I complelety understand that. They can knock you on things like phone usage, acceleration, etc.

My GMC Sierra every other startup the Onstar lady voice tells me I’m not connected to Onstar Services. Had it the first three years when it was included free at truck purchase, the maintenance reports were interesting but nothing I’d pay for.
The Euro’s are cracking down on unfettered consumer data collection. We need to do the same. “Trust Us” is far beyond its sell by date.
Google…quit showing me search results you think I’d like based on your cross platform tracking me, and just give the most significant ones for the topic. You were great when the discontinued Advanced Search feature used Boolean Operators.

Yet you drive around with your phone, the ultimate data recording device.
I love how people are upset about this but have zero problem with the data their phone collects on them and shares/sells it.

Found the GM dealer. I’m sure it’s the consumers’ fault it’s buried in fine print. No one should have to opt-out in the first place.

I do. I stopped taking my phone with me a long time ago.

They give you a discount if you do right? I think I received an ad showing that you can get your rate reduced, but I thought it was something they put in your car.
My electronic driving equipment already records everything, but it isn't given to insurance or anything. I would prefer it didn't record, but I don't have that option. I just hate the idea of having data on anything I do, its why I use cash as much as possible.

It's a little device and app on your phone. It supposedly can't hurt your rate but it can help it. I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Almost expected there to be some drug-related/public indecency/murder plot twist. Almost disappointing.

In case anyone doesn’t notice.
Powerful people will use AI to tap into every aspect of your life. Communications, tendencies etc. Also will make decisions on how to curb it, automatically in real time.

a very insightful comment.
ETA: And it will come to that in one way or another legal illegal won’t matter. I’m just glad I won’t need a job or a home or I might even be dead by then. So much to look forward too.

OnStar= we know everything we need to know.

It's probably time to go back to a flip phone, quit the Internet, and drive a vehicle from 2003.

I agreed to do the tracker thing for a discount in my premium, and I have never actually put it on. I told them that the one they sent me didn't work. They sent me a new one, and I never put it on. Still got that discount though

This should be good. I anticipate a big dog and pony show and a settlement that gets passed on to policy holders and nothing changes. Lobbyist are licking their lips right now.
