Aug 13 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N), has been sued by the state of Texas, which accused the automaker of installing technology on more than 14 million vehicles to collect data about drivers, which it then sold to insurers and other companies without drivers’ consent.

    Paxton said GM’s data were used to compile “Driving Scores” assessing whether more than 1.8 million Texas drivers had “bad” habits such as speeding, braking too fast, steering too sharply into turns, not using seatbelts and driving late at night.

      It’s not just GM, either. My insurance app, and the apps of two other insurance companies that I know of, do the same with night driving. I would get off of work and drive home, just to see the driving score get lowered. Twas bullshit.
