Hyundai received 61 cents per vehicle from Verisk. Honda received 26 cents. California's $12.75M fine against GM, the largest CCPA penalty ever, is less than the $20M GM made from selling the data.

It's also surprising how little money is being made. If I was buying a new car and there was an option where I could pay 61 cents for the privacy respecting version, it would be a no brainer.

Your comparing apples and oranges, the sales figures are national, whilst the fines covered California alone.

There’s state litigation in Texas and Arkansas at least and a national lawsuit
