Texas Sues G.M. Over Collection and Selling of Driver Data

The lawsuit accuses the automaker of tricking drivers into sharing detailed driving records that were then sold to insurance companies.

Texas’ complaint against General Motors and its OnStar subsidiary says that beginning in 2015, the automaker sold its customers’ driving data to outside vendors, including LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Verisk Analytics and Wejo. Some of those companies then calculated a “driving score” for each customer and sold that information to insurers. G.M. collected millions of dollars from these deals through upfront payments and ongoing royalties, according to the legal filing.
