A recent investigation has revealed that automakers are collecting and secretly sharing consumers' driving behavior data with insurance companies through systems like OnStar, leading to increased insurance premiums for some drivers. This data, sold to data brokers and then to insurance companies, informs the rates of insurance premiums based on in-depth reports of driving habits. Drivers of cars manufactured by General Motors, Ford, Honda, Kia, Subaru, and Mitsubishi, among other popular brands, have reported hikes in their insurance rates after their driving data was sent to insurers without their knowledge or consent. The data includes information on how drivers brake and accelerate, which is being used to justify rate increases. In some cases, insurance rates have risen as high as 50%. The practice has raised concerns about privacy and consent, as many drivers were unaware that their behavior was being monitored and shared in this manner.
