Two U.S. senators have called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate automakers, including General Motors, for selling driver data to third parties, including data brokers, without customer consent. The data, which includes movements and location information, is being sold for minimal amounts such as pennies, nickels, and dimes. Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.) disclosed this practice in a letter to the FTC, highlighting concerns over privacy violations. The senators' findings reveal that car companies are monetizing driving data anonymously without informing their customers, raising significant privacy and cybersecurity issues.
