The Fight Over Driving DataThe court has ruled that the lawsuit against General Motors over alleged data privacy violations involving OnStar can proceed. Car Complaints reported that about 30 class actions were consolidated into a single lawsuit, though some claims were dismissed.For context, GM is being sued for allegedly collecting vehicle and driver data through OnStar and selling it to third parties, including insurance companies. OnStar is a connected service that provides functions such as smartphone controls and vehicle diagnostics, which came free with every vehicle purchase in 2015. The issue, according to the plaintiffs, is that GM failed to adequately disclose that part of the subscription involved gathering driver data.
