According to my #OnStar diagnostic report for August, if I had been driving a #gasoline #vehicle instead of an #electricvehicle this month, I would have needed 97 gallons. Gas or #petrol costs $2.85/gal where I live, so it would have cost $276.45. Instead I charged up at home at a cost of $6/week. This is why #EVs are being attacked right now in the media. #electricvehicle #EVMastodon

@lnxw37b2 The tech is real and included in systems like #OnStar. However I think only the #FBI has the power to use it.
I found out about it cuz it was in a scene in #MrRobot so I looked it up!

"The Federal Trade Commission announced a proposed settlement agreeing that General Motors and its subsidiary, OnStar, will be banned from selling geolocation and driver behavior data to credit agencies for five years. That’s good news for G.M. owners. Every car owner and driver deserves to be protected.
Last year, a New York Times investigation highlighted how G.M. was sharing information with insurance companies without clear knowledge from the driver. This resulted in people’s insurance premiums increasing, sometimes without them realizing why that was happening. This data sharing problem was common amongst many carmakers, not just G.M., but figuring out what your car was sharing was often a Sisyphean task, somehow managing to be more complicated than trying to learn similar details about apps or websites."

#Texas AG sues #GM for fraud, selling #OnStar customer data to insurers using it to screw drivers. The AG's filing includes receipts. Asks judge to award $10k per violation, plus $250K for 65+ y/o seniors. (billions) It's having them turn it off, and stop the abuse that will hurt GM the most.
#Austin's #Tesla next, please.
Kudos to AG consumer protection attorneys Bridegan, Nordstrom, Lee, and Baasch for protecting #privacy.
