Selling "hard braking event" data seems less lucrative after public outcry.

    GM quickly announced a halt to data sharing in late March, days after the Times’ reporting sparked considerable outcry. GM had been sending data to both Verisk and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, the latter of which is not signaling any kind of retreat from the telematics pipeline.

    LexisNexis’ telematics page shows logos for carmakers Kia, Mitsubishi, and Subaru.

      Not good enough. GM has no legitimate business collecting the data to begin with.

      Dang, I was considering getting a Subaru, but I guess I’ll reconsider.

        It depends on if customers punish the remaining sellers

    Good! Keep boycotting those terrible legacy automakers who refuse physical buttons and electrifying their product lines.
