[QUOTE="Weather Man, post: 16526574, member: 137766"] GM has accumulated enough surveillance to set rates for insurance.

As more vehicles are sold with built-in internet connections, automakers are branching into services that capitalize on the data produced by their systems.

GM will begin a pilot this week for its own employees in Arizona and plans to offer it nationwide later in 2021. Non-GM owners will also be allowed on OnStar Insurance, but the automaker will offer additional discounts for those who are GM owners or subscribe to their services. For much of its history, GM offered insurance to drivers, but ended the business during its 2009 bankruptcy after unloading its GMAC financial-services arm.
