Cars collecting data on driving style and sharing telemetry

[TonyRPH]

I realise these articles are US centric, but would this even be permitted in Europe / UK?

In summary:

Automotive telemetry systems are collecting data on rapid acceleration, sudden stops, speeding and selling them to data brokers. The data brokers are selling this information to insurance companies who are raising insurance rates for those whom they deem risky drivers. Drivers are not explicitly consenting to these practices. The culprits are GM, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Honda, Accura and possibly Ford.
