A landmark settlement between General Motors and 35 states plus the District of Columbia resolves allegations tied to 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 centered on whether GM adequately informed drivers about how their personal and vehicle data would be handled. The terms of the deal aim to prevent similar practices moving forward while setting a precedent for automotive data governance.
