A major settlement has been reached between General Motors and 35 states plus the District of Columbia regarding its Smart Driver program, which enrolled millions of drivers in data-sharing agreements. The agreement imposes new restrictions on how the automaker collects and uses driving data, addressing concerns over privacy and consumer consent. Legal action had previously targeted the program’s practices, raising questions about transparency in vehicle data collection. The terms of the deal aim to reshape GM’s approach to handling sensitive information gathered from drivers.
