OnStar Smart Driver* is an optional service that provides customers with information about their driving behavior to help them maximize their vehicle’s overall performance, reduce vehicle wear and tear and encourage safer driving. Customers who enroll in OnStar Smart Driver will be able to earn achievements, get valuable feedback with each trip and access their driving data from their  myBuick, myCadillac, myChevrolet or myGMC mobile app(s).*

GM is discontinuing the Smart Driver product across all GM vehicles and will automatically unenroll any customers currently enrolled in Smart Driver. For additional context, please visit the GM newsroom.

We expect that customers will be unenrolled automatically by June 26, 2024.

We established Smart Driver to promote safer driving behavior for the benefit of customers who chose to participate. However, based on customer feedback, we’ve decided to discontinue the product across all GM vehicles.

No action is needed from the customer. We expect that customers will be unenrolled automatically by June 26, 2024.

All OnStar members globally who are currently enrolled in Smart Driver or Smart Driver+.

Once Smart Driver is discontinued, we do not have plans to offer similar functionality.

Contact your insurance carrier for questions about insurance discount eligibility.

We delete or de-identify data we collect, including Smart Driver data, when permitted under our data-retention policies and applicable law.

Smart Driver and Smart Driver+ were optional services offered at no additional cost to customers. Therefore, we will not be offering refunds.

No other OnStar services are impacted by this change.

No, we do not auto enroll customers into OnStar Smart Driver. All customers must opt-in to be enrolled.

Upon consent and enrollment in OnStar Smart Driver, depending on vehicle capability, the vehicle will collect specific driving behavior data, including hard braking events, hard acceleration events, speeds over 80 miles per hour, average speed, late night driving, seat belt usage, when and where these events occur, and the number of miles driven.

OnStar Smart Driver data is collected from the vehicle after each drive.

GM takes the security of its customers’ data very seriously. We use technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to help protect customers’ information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or theft.

No. OnStar Smart Driver information will not be visible to other OnStar Members unless the owner has shared the vehicle with another individual through the Family Sharing feature.

Generally, trip data will be available within a few minutes, but it could take up to 24 hours, depending on the length of the trip, traffic on the network and other factors.

As of March 20, 2024, OnStar Smart Driver customer data is no longer being shared with LexisNexis or Verisk. Customer trust is a priority for us, and we are actively evaluating our privacy processes and policies.

Customers can follow up with the companies directly to access reports and learn more:

LexisNexis: https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumer

Verisk: https://fcra.verisk.com/#/

Insights about driving behavior are only shared with an insurance carrier with your explicit consent. If you provide consent to your carrier, they can access the driver score associated with your vehicle’s driving behavior data to use the information for quoting purposes. The proprietary driver score is generated by LexisNexis or Verisk—GM does not have access to it.
