This week I read an eye-opening article in the NYT about privacy and transparency in the auto industry. Did you know that automakers are sharing detailed driving behavior data with insurance companies?! It turns out this might be leading to unexpected hikes in insurance rates for some drivers. Picture this: 65-year-old Kenn Dahl noticed his insurance cost skyrocket by 21%. When he dug deeper, he found out his driving data from LexisNexis was to blame. He requested a consumer disclosure report and boy, was he in for a surprise! Over 130 pages detailing every single time their Bolt had been driven in the past six months. From trip dates, times, and distances to speeding and sudden stops, it had it all!

What you can do:

• ​See what data your car is capable of collecting​
• ​Request your LexisNexis report​
• ​Request your Verisk report​
