Uh... How about permanently?

Data brokers setting a calendar reminder for 5 years from now.

GM is banned for selling the data.
They are going to give it away for free.....with the purchase of this really cool red paperclip.
-
-
.... Weren't they doing it illegally/without consent already?
"you're banned from committing crime"
-
I'm sure they'll be closely monitored over the next four years

Damn Chinese spy company /s
-
GM - Government Motors

Cool, they can survive just fine for five years and then sell :/
This is one useless restriction
-
So... Don't buy GM. Check.

I think GM owns OnStar, so many car models have this installed. I unplugged the OnStar system in my Honda just to prevent this.

I am not looking forward to replacing my car when it's time. So much data harvesting.

Shouldn't be legal at all

So they can still collect it, use it for internal purposes, then after 5 years still sell it?
Thats how I read it.
Legally, only if you let them. Illegally, what's the point of the conversation on the first place?
Sadly I expect They'll just add a very innocuous line and/or checkbox to the EULA for their infotainment system. 99% of people will just tick it even if optional.
I'm curious what the dollar value of this data is per capita. Imagine if you could simply pay $1 for exclusive rights to data collected by GM. Back in reality, they'd go "oops, we sold your data again and hoped you wouldn't notice."
