Modern cars have been called “smartphones with wheels,” because they are connected to the internet and packed with sensors and cameras.

#LexisNexis #Risk #Solutions, a data broker, has traditionally kept tabs for insurers on drivers’ moving violations, prior insurance coverage and accidents.

When Romeo Chicco requested his LexisNexis file, it contained details about 258 trips he had taken in his Cadillac over the past six months.

His file included the distance he had driven, when the trips started and ended, and an accounting of any #speeding and #hard #braking or #accelerating.

The data had been provided by #General #Motors — the manufacturer of his Cadillac.

In a complaint against General Motors and LexisNexis Risk Solutions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Mr. Chicco accused the companies of 💥violation of privacy and consumer protection laws. 💥

The lawsuit follows a report by The New York Times that, unknown to consumers, automakers have been sharing information on their driving behavior with the insurance industry, resulting in #increased #insurance #rates for some drivers.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions, and another data broker called #Verisk, claim to have real-world driving behavior from ♦️millions of cars.♦️
