Deep dives

Cars as Spying Devices

Cars today are essentially computers on wheels that can collect a vast amount of driving data, including details like braking, acceleration, speeding, and location. General Motors' Smart Driver program collects and shares this data with data brokers, who in turn provide it to insurance companies. This information can influence insurance rates based on driving behavior.
