Nope, the “safety features” they were referring to is the automatic 911 call during an event. That’s it. But the language they used made it seem like safety features will not work.

My two GM vehicles are off the grid, '79 Caddy and '92 Chevy, with no info to be accessed. Not sure what's being gathered from my '19 4Runner, but I'm sure I signed away my soul with the mountain of paperwork signed at purchase. Maybe next time I buy a vehicle, I'll whip out an NDA for the dealership to sign.

GM had already started OnStar - just not in all models. MB went connected shortly after …
Lawsuit news hasn't affected GM's stock price yet.

There are articles stating GM ended the practice early this year - some end there - some carry on to say others still do …
Insures can't confirm who is actually driving based off historical data. What they can do is fine tune the driving behavior on per model basis. Take Hellcat vs Corvette owners as an example. Insures are always looking for ways to fine tune their risk/loss models.
Well, then what's the point of the suit? Maybe I misunderstood. But I don't see how that data can be used to raise my individual rates if not VIN specific.
If you were manditold (forced) to accept it with your onstar or satellite radio pretty much anyone with gps got force enrolled.
Out of thousands of people this happened too I can’t find anyone that “saved money “ being in the program.
Pretty much universally you get your data from lexisnexis if your in there your insurance rates will be permanently increased for the rest of your life.
Now that's helping me make some sense of this.

And they don’t care, who ever has the policy on the car gets an increase, it’s very easy for them to figure out the who because cell phones (even Apple apps ) offer anonymous data including location information and paths that can be cross referenced to figure out who is there

Seems to be lots of opt outs being missed in the similar Toyota and Kia and and and articles - who knows what gets accepted during these setups when “dealer does dummies” setups on the lot …
Election year and people are complaining about their rate increases. I may be wrong of course.
Privacy is an illusion, at best.
Oh yeah, the Internet, cell phones, GPS, etc. If you aren't paying for the product you are the product.

Well said and said well
The article I read was that the dealers were accepting it prior to delivery.
Not sure how to square this - but if your not the one who said yes, then I don't think its right to say they didn't read the fine print - they weren't offered any to read.
Weren’t there people on EBay selling pictures of high demand items with a fine print that the items were not real?
I’m pretty sure most rational people would condemn such behavior and not excuse it because the buyer didn’t read the fine print.
Yet when corporations do it is all good and the fault is with the consumer.
