GM Lawsuit Says Owners Deserve Compensation For Connected Vehicle Data

A proposed class action lawsuit against General Motors alleges owners deserve to be compensated for data the automaker collects from connected vehicles. According to the lawsuit, data from connected vehicles is the next big moneymaker that could be worth more than the vehicles, and automakers like General Motors allegedly have no right to use that information for free or give it away. The plaintiff claims GM should compensate drivers by offering financial incentives for the use of vehicle data or possibly offer lower monthly lease payments or rebates to owners.
