Is your car sharing your data with insurers?

But you may not know that your car may already be sharing driving data with insurers without you ever opting in.

“Insurers can generally use your driving data if you agree to share it, but many drivers never realize they agreed to anything.”

“Your driving data often goes through data brokers and other third parties before it reaches your insurer,” Chalaki notes.
