> General Motors agreed to pay $220 million to resolve claims that it illegally sold drivers’ location and driving information to data brokers. A coalition of 36 state attorneys general secured an agreement requiring GM to limit data collection and get drivers’ express consent. The allegations concern the discontinued Smart Driver program, whose data insurers could buy and use to raise premiums.
