Experience OnStar Smart Driver today
Anyone else get this email yet from GM. Turns your car into a spy on your diving habits and gives you a report card on how well you're doing.
If you own a corvette and get A's on your card you should turn over your keys.

Got it, deleted it.

I attempted to sign up - got a pop-up that said my car wasn't compatible as it had to be a 2015 model or newer (mine is a 2016)

Some insurance companies have some rate "savings" based on this information if you let them monitor your driving habits. They have a device that plugs into the computer connection port.
You can also buy a device that only you monitor that is great if you have a young driver as it has an option to stop some smart phones from use while moving besides the driving habits.

This app should have a Corvette option..
1: if your going ONLY 20 MPH over the limit, consider yourself a great driver as you are exercising extreme restraint.
2: if you accelerating 0-60 in over 5 seconds, then you are using Exrteme restraint.
3: if your later g is under 1.00, you are using exteme restaint!!
Compared to other cars, it might think your driving excessively fast but infact you are well within the capabilities of the CAR.
I wonder how it manages to monitor the traffic flow around you. It might think your speeding when all your doing is driving the same as everyone else. So it will think you are wreckless when in fact you are going with the flow of traffic ???
I think your better off with a dash cam
REMEMBER: if you are not cursing others when you are driving, then you are not paying attention to what's going on around you !

Yeah, I got it too. It told me there were "several instances of hard acceleration". I smiled and then hit delete! This "oversight society" is really starting to scare me. Is there a way to complete "disconnect" from any OnStar oversight?

It said my car is not eligible for this.

Why in the hell would I voluntarily sign up for this?
No "discount" is worth big brother (of any sort) having a potential weapon to use against me.

Don't they monitor this stuff anyway whether you "request" it or not?

You guys are looking at this all wrong.....
We could start a contest, maybe charge a small entry fee to enter, then have prizes for the best score in categories like "hard acceleration instances" and "speeds over 80 mph".
Of course, this game would be like golf, the lower your score the better you're doing

Just like the red-light camera "revenue enhancement", next On-Star will get in bed with the politician thieves and automatically write you tickets and mail them to you for speeding, exhibition of speed, and wreckless driving for stopping hard and get a "taste" of the fines. Win-Win for the Revenue Generation/Industrial Complex. And these connected cars will send messages to the most local police cars to enable them to come and get you when you fine are unpaid. Perhaps future cars will lock their doors and drive you directly to the poky to pay up all them fines.
