GM cars have an app called Smart Driver, if you opt in it tells you how you drive, in the background it shares info with LexisNexis which sells that info to insurance companies. Guess whose premiums are going up if you have a heavy foot?

Quote:
Numerous people on the forums complained about spiking premiums as a result. A Cadillac driver in Palm Beach County, Fla., who asked not to be named because he is considering a lawsuit against G.M., said he was denied auto insurance by seven companies in December. When he asked an agent why, she advised him to pull his LexisNexis report. He discovered six months of his driving activity, including many instances of hard braking and hard accelerating, as well as some speeding.
