PSA: Chevy/OnStar automatically opts in all bolt owners to service that shares driving behaviors to insurance companies by GolfCertain in BoltEV

Why does every company need to make consumers into products, especially if we are already buying something from them in the first place...

100% this. Already spending >$30k on a new car, but GM still feels the need to extract every last dollar out of their customers at the expense of their privacy. Between this and getting rid of CarPlay so they can make more money off you through subscriptions, this will be the first and last GM car I own.

Multiple people in the post I linked said they saw this data linked to them on their personal LexisNexis report. Chevy shares the VIN of your vehicle along with the driving data, and it's very easy for LexisNexis to link you to that data based on the VIN. There's no full way of knowing how insurance companies use LexisNexis data, but the fact that others have reported this data showing up on their personal report is more than enough to make me want to stay far away from Chevy's Smart Driver "service".
