Tom I've been trying to keep up with all of this, the thing I know lest about is anything to do withIts funny how when I started this thread how people were making aluminum hat jokes and hinted of paranoia. Hardly anyone knew anything about the data collection. Well, now they do. The linked article pertains to how data is used and shared with insurance companies. What the article does not discuss is how Ford is using the data. You may be able to opt out of insurance related data sharing, but unless you disable the modem, the data stream is still broadcasting back to mother Ford.
From the article:
“Ford is committed to connecting our customers to valuable services that can help them reduce their total cost of ownership and get more out of their Ford vehicle – usage-based insurance is a great opportunity to do that,” said Alex Purdy, director of business operations, enterprise connectivity, Ford Motor Company.
“The addition of Ford to the Verisk Data Exchange will help the growing number of insurers looking to expand their UBI programs with connected cars,” added Karthik Balakrishnan, general manager of Verisk’s telematics business. “We’re excited to connect Ford drivers with these insurers and, most importantly, make it easier for everyone to benefit from UBI.”
Currently, the Exchange contains 6.6 million vehicles and 175 billion miles of driving data, and continues to grow by over 200,000 new vehicles every month.
