通用汽车将其 Smart Driver 系统宣传为一种让家长监控青少年驾驶或让成年人追踪自身驾驶行为的方式。但在 2024 年，曝出通用汽车一直在与数据经纪商共享这些数据。这些经纪商随后将数据出售给保险公司，导致部分驾驶者的保费上涨。更糟糕的是，许多驾驶者声称他们从未知情同意为这种目的共享此类数据。
General Motors marketed its Smart Driver system as a way for parents to monitor teen drivers or for adults to track their driving behavior. But in 2024, it emerged that GM had been sharing that data with brokers. Those brokers then sold the data to insurance companies, and some drivers found that their insurance became more expensive as a result. To make matters worse, many of those drivers claimed they had no knowledge of ever agreeing to share such data for such purposes.
去年，通用汽车及其 OnStar 子公司与联邦贸易委员会 (FTC) 达成和解，禁止它们与第三方共享某些类型的驾驶者数据。该和解于今年 1 月正式生效。协议禁止这两家公司在五年内共享地理位置数据或驾驶行为数据。当时，通用汽车还在其全系车型中停止了 Smart Driver 服务。
Last year, GM and its OnStar subsidiary entered into a settlement with the FTC, prohibiting them from sharing some kinds of driver data with third parties. The settlement was finalized this January. That agreement banned the two companies from sharing geolocation data or driver behavior data for five years. At the time, GM also discontinued Smart Driver across its entire range.
现在，该车企已与哥伦比亚特区和 35 个州达成条款，此前这些州的检察长联合起诉了通用汽车。
Now the automaker has reached terms with the District of Columbia and 35 states after their attorneys general joined together to sue GM as well.
