According to its web site, OnStar Smart Driver “provides driving insights on how you can become a smarter, safer driver” while enabling users to “earn badges by completing challenges, build on streaks specific to different driving habits and view all your data in an intuitive dashboard.”

Just like social media. Pass it off as a positive thing, make a game of it, shower you with the benefits of using it, and in the meantime, stick the knife in your back and twist it when you are not looking.

There's not a *smart* anything that is not 100% betrayal and surveillance.

There was a case of a missing wife in Colorado. They got the husband’s information from a company that went through his truck’s computer. I don’t recall if it was online or physically going through it. But it was crazy what they pulled from it. When each door was opened and closed, blinkers, brakes, speed. Even showed that he backed up 47 feet (or whatever) in his driveway at 3 am. Based on GPS and the number of times the gears rotated in his transmission. It wasn’t even that new of a truck - 2018 or something.

They still didn’t have enough evidence to bring him to trial though.
