I'm pretty sure the drivers already gave consent to have their data disseminated and sold freely to third parties in the T&Cs they clicked through when setting up the navigation system. Of course this doesn't make it acceptable for GM to do this.

You're pretty sure? Were you there? The New York Times reported a sales person admitted enrolling people without consent.[1] [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/technology/general-motors-spying-driver-data-consent.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/technology/general-motors...

While it seems you and I are mostly on the same page, I'd go further and say that this isn't consent. Yes, the law says it's consent, but that's the problem: the law is wrong.
