GM Argues It Can Sell Your Data Because You Drive on Public Roads

a year ago

GM is facing a lawsuit for allegedly collecting and selling customer driving data without proper consent.
GM argues that driving on public roads means there's no reasonable expectation of privacy.
The case cites state laws and the Restatement of Torts, which support that public conduct is not private.
Plaintiffs claim violations of privacy and federal laws, including the Federal Wiretap Act.
GM's Smart Driver program, which collected driver data, was discontinued in April 2024.
Concerns arise over how collected data could be used by insurers to raise rates without due process.
