A shocking investigation reveals that major automakers like Honda, Hyundai, and GM sold customer data, including location tracking and driving habits, to third-party companies like Verisk for minimal profits. The numbers are staggering:

  • Honda sold data on 97,000 cars for just $25,920 over 4 years (26 cents per car)
  • Hyundai sold data on 1.7 million cars for $1 million over 6 years (61 cents per car)
  • GM sold data on over 8 million cars, but won't reveal the profit

This raises serious concerns about data privacy and security. Hackers could exploit this data to:

  • Track drivers' locations in real-time
  • Steal sensitive information like credit card numbers
  • Compromise vehicle safety features

The worst part? Customers were often enrolled in data sharing without their knowledge or consent. The senators call the opt-in process "deceptive."
