They mention this about Ford and am curious if anyone has done this. I wonder if I enabled without knowing?

“

Ford says it only shares driving behavior with an insurance company when the driver gives explicit consent through an in-vehicle touchscreen prompt.

This is a big deal. It is another reason not to buy GM. The NYT article said.

"Ford “does not transmit any connected vehicle data to either partner,” said a spokesman, Alan Hall, but partnered with them “to explore ways to support customers” who want to take part in usage-based insurance programs. Ford will share driving behavior from a car directly with an insurance company, he said, when a customer gives explicit consent via an in-vehicle touch screen.

The other automakers all have optional driver-coaching features in their apps — Kia, Mitsubishi and Hyundai have “Driving Score,” while Honda and Acura have “Driver Feedback” — that, when turned on, collect information about people’s mileage, speed, braking and acceleration that is then shared with LexisNexis or Verisk, the companies said in response to questions from The New York Times.

Make sure your this consent is turned off. It can increase your Insurnace.

There are two options in the General menu I believe. One was Insurance and I have it turned off. The other one was vehicle data (or something like that) where the description mentions that Ford shares speed and braking data with it's partners. I also turned of that selection.
