The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that collected data about how the car had been driven and promised feedback and digital badges for good driving.

            Mine will too, when it’s reasonably warm out, but not below -15 or so. Below -30 it’s even longer, and might not keep it clear, and I need to open windows just so moisture goes somewhere other than the windshield.,
