I wonder how selling the car impacts the data stream? If you could show that the automaker and LexisNexis aren't properly handling the transition of the car's owner from one to another -- effectively penalizing the original owner for the actions of a subsequent owner -- there might be a legal angle of attack to assert damages.
Data would surely be username x car modem I'd or something= unique id.
You labor under the impression that they would only track & keep data if the user was logged in.
Who changed the username in the on-board OnStar system? Did you think to perform a full factory reset on the car's electronic systems, before selling the car? CAN you?
I'm sure insurance is gonna stop caring as soon as they get a notice saying that the person sold the car.
I'm an IT professional and I am not sure of that at all.
