They can track where you are, where you go, anything they want to pull with GPS data.

If they want to track us city folks being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, fine by me. Maybe the government will do something about the freakin traffic problems this way.

And if they get mad when I go 100 mph down a back road or highway, they're just jealous because their Prius's suck donkey drool.

I will say this. The only concern is if they were to listen in on me while I'm driving. I don't want some unknown person listening to my phone conversations without me knowing it.

Cell phones are encrypted, it is the wireless blue tooth that gets hacked and recorded. Always use a wired hands-free device.

i feel like as long as youre using the Onstar service they can do it. but to do it to unsubscribed people is kinda bs.
