This is the best summary I could come up with:
SAN ANTONIO – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating multiple car manufacturing companies after reports that they have secretly collected driver data and sold it to third parties.
Paxton’s office said the reports noted that massive amounts of data were sold to insurance providers.
“The technology in modern vehicles enables manufacturers to collect millions of data points about the people driving them,” Paxton said.
“Recently, consumers have grown extremely concerned that their driving data is being reported to their insurance company without their knowledge or authorization.
These reports of the invasive and unmitigated collection and sale of data without consumer consent are disturbing, and they merit a thorough investigation and appropriate enforcement.”
Paxton’s office said the manufacturers and third parties were instructed to show records relevant to their conduct.
