Data privacy on 2027 Bolts
With the Federal Trade Comission order that came out of the NY Times investigation and now GM settling a CA lawsuit for mishandling/selling driver data to 3rd parties after promising not to do so, is there any way to avoid giving GM all your data on the new Bolts? We clearly can't trust GM to do what they say even if the new lawsuit requires them to not sell 3rd party data sales for 5 years. When I pulled my Lexis Nexus report I was surprised by not just how much data there was after a few months of ownership (80+ pages) but how much of it was just wrong. But insurance companies buy that data and use it to set rates and most consumers will never see it to check for accuracy and I don't think all this effort should be required just to own a new car.
On the 2017 - 2023 Bolts you can pull one fuse and know the car's Onstar module isn't sending data to GM. You lose your compass, home-charging scheduling, and some of the voice command stuff but otherwise the car works as it should. Is there something similar you can do for the 2027 Bolts or is the infotainment /Onstar too tied up with the car now?
