Is your car a snitch? What your car is telling insurers

День тому

Kashmir Hill, The New York Times tech reporter and ‘Your Face Belongs to Us’ author, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss how auto companies sell data from connected cars to data brokers, how the data is then sold to insurance companies, why the feature is so hard to turn off, what lawmakers can do to protect consumer data, and more.

Any car brand that data tracks me will NEVER have me as a customer again.

@muthonirichards6211 Місяць тому

They all do. Any car newer than 2016 has a tracking capability to it.

We have delt with government overreach for years, now we have to deal with corporate overreach. I am fed up with people just taking coverage over information of my life ESPECIALLY without security on it, or ever worse just sharing it wiout my permission.

@4:06 - "GM took the right step and isn't going to sell that data anymore". Did they? They said they wouldn't sell the data to auto insurance companies. Notice the *clause there... what about anyone else, like marketing companies, or google? I think a consumer's bill of rights is warranted and needed here.

GM stopped selling data to 2 data brokers. Are they selling to any other companies?

@timc9893 25 днів тому

What GM didn't disclose, is that there are up 300 separate apps running in most modern cars that broadcast live data to manufacturers every mile you drive.

@djhype1983 24 дні тому

Yep, because the insurance is paying for this data!!! Somebody got a huge kickback

@backtoasimplelife 23 дні тому

GM did

@car-key-programming 24 дні тому

Question big question. They use this type of data to raise your insurance but when your car is stolen they can't find it or disable it. 🤔 invasion of privacy and only in the interest on higher insurance rates.

Well now I’m really sticking with old school cars if you get an electric car it’s even worse they gonna have all your data

@sullfolife Місяць тому

At least in europe due to the RGPD you can request that they erase your data from their server, that should automatically erase their record and therefore get you back to prices that was yours before they collected the data

@bradlybaldwin9564 24 дні тому

The only reason for the safety is to protect there trade bond on the stock exchange. Known as the human resource

@lamarwilliams185 22 дні тому

So when they send a false reading? You have to prove something you are not aware of? Prove the air quality of the air you were breathing a week ago!!! Do the insurance company lower the premium because you are driving good?

@k54dhKJFGiht Місяць тому

Ask Angela Chao if it is a good idea to have an automobile connected to the Internet. If this feature of electric cars is to be corrected, then NOW is the time to intervene. Otherwise, it will be like trying to end TikTok (a potential threat to National Security) after everyone has found a way to make it indispensable. Is it (giving away your personal data) REALLY necessary against all that?
