Texas probes four more car companies over how they collect and sell consumer data

Hopefully, this can lead to future changes in the auto industry…

Ford, Hyundai Motor America, Toyota Motor North America and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles U.S., which is owned by Stellantis, were sent letters by the Texas Attorney General’s Office earlier this month demanding sworn answers about how they collect, share and sell consumer data, according to public records obtained by Recorded Future News.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been aggressively pursuing automakers for their data collection and sales practices and filed a lawsuit against GM in August accusing it of pushing drivers to enroll in products that collected their data and then sold it to other firms.
