Under proposed order, GM and OnStar will be banned for five years from disclosing geolocation and driver behavior data to consumer reporting agencies

The Federal Trade Commission is taking action against General Motors (GM) and OnStar over allegations they collected, used, and sold drivers’ precise geolocation data and driving behavior information from millions of vehicles—data that can be used to set insurance rates—without adequately notifying consumers and obtaining their affirmative consent.

    How long before a mandatory popup that prevents you from driving your car until you agree?

        How to make the move to an aftermarket ECU

        So when ECU shopping, here are a few questions to consider about your application:

        Can you use any of your existing sensors and wiring harness? Many companies offer plug-and-play options that leverage existing computer-controlled infrastructure and simply replace your computer with a more programmable one. Or will you need to run a dedicated harness and account for specific sensors that the computer needs to monitor?

        Sounds like you’re in luck.
