OnStar, It’s None Of Your Business!

Recently involved in an OnStar related issue.  Reviewing this technology (and not related) I found an interesting tidbit on how OnStar recently notified its account holders that it will keep an accounting of the speed and location of all vehicles equipped with their product – Even After The Service Has Been CANCELLED.

Don’t panic, there is a clause in there that customers must decide whether or not to opt out of the continued Surveillance Monitoring System.  I’m betting most people did not read the article or small print to say the least.

I ask, what if you bought a vehicle and haven’t activated it?  Hmmm… guess all products of OnStar services will not activate your vehicle since you bought it used and didn’t activate it in the first place.  Then you must have a say in whether your vehicle is activated or not….any bets here?  Any reason the government owns two of the three major automakers?  Surely they wouldn’t be interested in you the Registered Owner of your vehicle and keeping records of everywhere you go.

And I still have that Beach in Arizona.
