The Federal Trade Commission slapped GM with a five-year total ban on reporting data, even with customer consent, after it was found to have shared driver behaviour data with insurance companies without the customer’s consent.

由於發現通用汽車在未經客戶同意的情況下與保險公司共享駕駛員行為數據，美國聯邦貿易委員會對通用汽車實施五年全面禁止報告數據的規定，即使是在獲得客戶同意的情況下。

GM’s Smart Driver program was an opt-in service that collected data on aspects such as chosen traffic routes. However, a New York Times investigation revealed that the car firm was also collecting data on the rate of acceleration, cornering speeds, and other driver behaviour that is of particular value to insurers in assessing the risk posed by policyholders.

通用汽車的智慧駕駛員計畫是一項選擇性加入服務，可收集所選交通路線等方面的數據。然而，《紐約時報》的一項調查顯示，該汽車公司還在收集有關加速度、轉彎速度和其他駕駛員行為的數據，這些數據對於保險公司評估保單持有人構成的風險特別有價值。

“Respecting our customers’ privacy and earning their trust is deeply important to us,” GM said in a statement on Thursday. “We’re more committed than ever to making our policies and controls clear and accessible.”

「尊重客戶的隱私並贏得他們的信任對我們來說非常重要，」通用汽車在周四的聲明中表示。 “我們比以往任何時候都更加致力於使我們的政策和控制措施變得清晰易懂。”
