GM latest news
GM’s move to Woodward is the right one — for the company and for Detroit
Back in 2018, Chevy invited me to attend the Detroit Auto Show on the company dime to get an early preview of the then-newly redesigned Silverado. The trip involved a stay at the Renaissance Center — just a quick People Mover ride from the show. I’d been visiting Detroit in January for nearly a decade, and not once had I set foot inside General Motors’ glass-sided headquarters. I was intrigued, to say the least.
NYT learns how GM car buyers wound up in a program that raised insurance rates
The story about GM sharing driving data from connected vehicles with third parties now has a third installment. The quick recap is that New York Times reporter Kashmir Hill broke the news that GM was selling driving data about specific drivers and specific trips to LexisNexis and Verisk, two companies that help auto insurance companies gauge risk. The drivers had been enrolled in a program called Smart Driver+, a driving gamification program described by GM as a way to improve one's driving. On the back end, Smart Driver+ was noting incidents it considered hard braking, hard accelerating, swerving, and speeding. Insurers were then using these files full of incidents to raise the rates of their insured. Two weeks after the first piece ran in the NYT, GM said it had cut ties with LexisNexis, because, «Customer trust is a priority for us, and we are actively evaluating our privacy processes and policies.» By then, a Cadillac driver in Florida who had his insurance premium doubled had already filed a lawsuit.

The Hummer H1 (as it became known) never sold in large numbers, but The General decided to make everyman Hummers based on existing GM truck platforms. The Silverado-based H2 came first, debuting as a 2003 model, followed by the Colorado-based H3 as a 2006 model. Here's one of those first-year H3s, found in a Denver self-service car graveyard recently.

GM's new V2H products help turn your EV into a home generator
Despite how you may feel about them, EVs offer quite a few benefits over comparable gas-powered models.
