I’m looking for an article I either read or heard about during a podcast fairly recently. It stated someone’s kid on vacation visited home, used their parents car, connected their phone to the infotainment system, and since it had access to their phone’s data was able to see who the kid was and increased the parents car insurance policy as their kid was driving their car.
