Just because it's not there, don't assume it's not happening. I'm in AB too, and my company is 100% using this data.

As you see, it is giving me an option to enroll again.

I have a 2023 ZLE, so maybe that explains it. (Updated tech?)

Or maybe because you are in Edmonton.

Same here, I have it in the menu but not enrolled. Another potential cause is that I still have the complimentary "basic" OnStar coverage, since the car is less than 5 years old.

This is one of the more useful threads. Definitely removing myself from this program.

Maybe just for US vehicles?

BTW, the heck is this "Remote Personalization" item you guys with newer model years have?

You can add/remove/turn on apps and favorites

Each key fob can be assigned to a user, with custom preferences, favorites, etc. for each keyfob. This is what the app looks like.

This thread absolutely deserves to be a sticky.

Turning off the Smart Driver feature was one of the first things I did when I picked up my 2017 2LT.

I will be doing exactly the same when my 2023 2SS arrives. It was mildly novel to see your driving habits to start with, and then when my 'score' kept going down, I realized all to quickly that I didn't need someone else 'seeing' how fun this vehicle was!

Fancy, fancy. Thanks for the info

Can all the "normal" settings also be configured on a per key fob basis, too? You know, lock/unlock, drive mode, exhaust, volume leveling and the like?

Just received my insurance renewal notices for my 2021 1SS. It showed a 25% premium increase, and mentioned that premiums are based on a number of factors, including personal data in a report provided to the insurance company by a company called LexisNexis. It also mentioned that you can request a copy of this report from LexisNexis, which I did, and they mailed me a letter containing a website and password to be used in viewing , and/or downloading/printing the 150+ page report. It contains information such as credit history, residence addresses, etc.

I was quite surprised to find that it also contained data provided by General Motors Holding in Detroit pertaining to my driving practices. There were records of 175 trips which included data categories for each trip :
Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, Acceleration Events, Hard Brake Events, High Speed Events, Distance, and VIN. I was aware that various insurance companies offer incentives if you install a monitoring device which captures this data, but had no idea that GM was collecting this data, and providing to third parties. I called my insurance agent to ask if this data may have been a factor in the 25% increase in my premium; he said that the insurance company does not reveal to him how much each of the 40 or so factors influences the premiums, and also that he was totally unaware that GM was providing this data.

I did not extend the use of OnStar or the My Chevy app once the free introductory periods expired, but from what I’ve read, GM still collects this information and provides it, and the ability to collect it is somehow tied to the vehicle’s infotainment and/or Bluetooth features. I tried googling to see if there are ways to disable this, and was unable to come across any information that might be helpful.

Does anybody have any comments on this issue ? Does anybody know how to prevent GM from gathering this data (short of removing the infotainment and Bluetooth features from the vehicle). ?

Thanks

This sh!t needs to stop!

Mine says There was very rapid acceleration on this trip. Try to drive in conditions that allow you to speed up gradually”

I guess they want me to drive in the snow

I turned off Safe driving, but maybe that doesn't matter , then why did Chevrolet offer me 650hp, I would of never spent 75 k, and sold my 60s muscle cars .
