GM quickly announced a halt to data sharing in late March, days after the Times' reporting sparked considerable outcry. GM had been sending data to both Verisk and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, the latter of which is not signaling any kind of retreat from the telematics pipeline.

LexisNexis' telematics page shows logos for carmakers Kia, Mitsubishi, and Subaru.

Not good enough. GM has no legitimate business collecting the data to begin with.

Dang, I was considering getting a Subaru, but I guess I'll reconsider.

Think they'll honor it?

It depends on if customers punish the remaining sellers
