BS! can you say Terabyte?
There are numerous companies that specialize in product scoring and some of them are updating 300 million records / transactions a day!
What are you writing software in DOS?
All OnStar is doing is going after the metadata, like thousands of other companies are today.

I am aware of what a terabyte is, thank you. Should we turn this into a conversation of large transaction stores and their technology, such as BigTable, MapReduce and Hadoop? I guess I have to spell it out for you. A large GPS dataset of consumer driving habits has not been available to insurance companies.
Yes, I am writing DOS applications, 6.22 even!!!! Seriously, if you don't have anything constructive to add to the thread, please don't reply.
And no, it's not just the "metadata" as you stated. Right from the updated terms:
"The information we may collect from your Vehicle includes:
• information about your Vehicle’s operation, including such things as diagnostic trouble codes, oil life remaining, tire pressure, fuel economy, and odometer readings;
• information about crashes involving your Vehicle, including the direction from which your Vehicle was hit, which air bags have deployed, and safety belt usage;
• information about your use of the Vehicle and its features, such as whether you have paired a mobile device with your Vehicle;
• information about when your Vehicle’s ignition is turned on or off and when your fuel is refilled; and
• in the limited circumstances listed below, the location and the approximate speed of your Vehicle based on GPS:
• when there is a request for Service (for example, when you
request driving directions);
• when there is an air bag deployment or automatic crash
response (so we can inform emergency Service Providers);
• when there is a request for Stolen Vehicle Assistance (to assist
law enforcement in the recovery of your Vehicle);
• when needed to protect the safety of you or others (for example,
to locate a missing person);
• when needed by us, or our Service Providers, for our quality, research, or troubleshooting purposes;
• as required by OnStar for the delivery of new or enhanced services that you have requested;
• as required by law; or
•
for any purpose, at any time, provided that following collection of such location and speed information identifiable to your Vehicle, it is shared only on an anonymized basis"
