EconomyGM to pay $220 million over sale of Smart Driver data

GM promoted Smart Driver as a tool for monitoring teen drivers or tracking adults’ driving habits, but shared the data with brokers, who sold it to insurers. Some drivers said their premiums rose and they had never agreed to the data sharing. After a separate FTC settlement restricted GM and OnStar from sharing certain driver data, GM has now reached terms with the District of Columbia and 35 states that sued the automaker.
