General Motors (GM) and a group of California enforcement agencies led by state Attorney General Rob Bonta have reached a settlement, Bonta’s office announced on May 8, requiring GM to pay $12.75 million in penalties and follow driving data restrictions.

Bonta’s office cited a 2024 New York Times report on automakers, including GM, sharing consumers’ driving data with insurance companies, with some insurers raising customers’ rates in other states based on the data.
