I’m guessing that GM must have figured out that it was in a no win situation. I say that because GM announced that it will not be spying on OnStar equipped cars even if you don’t subscribe to OnStar:
GM said yesterday it will disable the data connection to vehicles once customers cancel the OnStar navigation, safety and security service. The Detroit-based automaker had said last week it would keep collecting information and may sell it under terms of service due to go into effect Dec. 1.
This is a win if you value your privacy. But as far as I am concerned, we should still ask questions about what GM does do with any data it collects from current customers. That to me is just as important as what it does with non-customers data.
