It's a lot harder to hide a 2 ton chunk of metal in defining color for the world to see from the police and insurance company than it is to hide your smartphone.
Apple can know where you are and how fast you're going (unless you have GPS turned off which you can't do with OnStar unless you remove the fuse, unplug the antenna, or tear out the module  ), but they don't know how you're going that fast or in what. |
Can but they don't and never will without a court order.
GM uses the data they collect as a competitive advantage to make cars and trucks better. It's the biggest internal firewall I know off. I ran the group that measured customer usage for GM. You can get the data you just can't have it associated with a customer.
