The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that collected data about how the car had been driven and promised feedback and digital badges for good driving.

How far away do you need to start your car? Wouldn’t a regular remote start on a key fob work for most situations? Unless you’re taking the bus to your car.
I start the AC from my office which is probably 2-300m from my car with a large building between. That’s far outside the range of a key FOB, but it’s nice and cold in the summer (or warm on the winter) when I get to it.
You probably bitch and complain about climate change while walking to your car that has been running for 20 minutes too.
In what world does walking 2-300m take 20min? What a ridiculous hyperbole…
If it’s cold outside it usualky takes at least 10 minutes to be warm enough to keep the windshield clear, so not all of it will be walking.
Defrost will have the windshield clear of ice in about 3min on mine.
Mine will too, when it’s reasonably warm out, but not below -15 or so. Below -30 it’s even longer, and might not keep it clear, and I need to open windows just so moisture goes somewhere other than the windshield.,
