Attention All With Onstar on their Cars

[Thermo1223]

I wonder what the report would say on a used vehicle (especially a rental)?

Automakers Are Sharing Consumers’ Driving Behavior With Insurance Companies

LexisNexis, which generates consumer risk profiles for the insurers, knew about every trip G.M. drivers had taken in their cars, including when they sped, braked too hard or accelerated rapidly.

GM isn't the only company that collects this type of info

Toyota does the exact same I was going to say. Plenty of people cut off the antennas.

Smart, as (pretty much) applied here and especially applied on so many devices out there, is not a word. I'm sure they want you to think it's a word, like "clever" or "intelligent", but it's not.

It's actually an acronym.

Sustainability.
Monitoring.
Assessing.
Rating.
Tracking.

It's eased in slowly but surely mostly for "convenience" but also for "safety" and of course "oh, look at that high tech, i want that".

Cue in the people who think they're smart(the actual word) and call me paranoid or that it's a conspiracy theory.
