Reported: General Motors GM (Company)

General Motors enrolled millions of drivers in its OnStar Smart Driver program from 2016 to 2024, according to a coalition of state attorneys general. The states alleged that GM sold data on how and where people drove to data brokers, who sold it to insurers that used it to set premiums, without drivers' knowledge or consent. They also alleged that dealerships sometimes enrolled drivers without consent and that the OnStar app wrongly told more than 370,000 drivers they were not enrolled. GM ended Smart Driver in 2024.
On October 29, 2026, attorneys general for 35 states and the District of Columbia, led by Washington and Oregon, announced that GM would pay $220 million to the states to settle the claims. GM must get drivers' express consent before collecting or sharing driving and location data, and limit the data it collects. GM said the agreement addressed a product it had already ended.
In May 2026, GM agreed to pay $12.75 million to settle a California investigation, and an FTC order finalized in January 2026 bars GM and OnStar from sharing certain consumer data.
