General Motors relaunched its certified preowned program as CarBravo, an online portal that lets Chevrolet, Buick and GMC dealers list certified used vehicles nationwide and even certify trade-ins from other brands. About 1,615 dealers have joined and GM expects roughly 250,000 CarBravo sales in 2026, with about 38% of visitors converting from used to new purchases. The program aims to drive dealership traffic, increase service and subscription revenues and compete with online used-car retailers; rivals such as Ford and Toyota report similar conversion strategies. » More on cnbc.com

General Motors agreed to pay $220 million to settle claims it sold driver and location data from its Smart Driver program to data brokers. The settlement requires GM to limit the driving data it collects and obtain express consent from drivers before collecting such information. The multistate agreement, led by 36 attorneys general, follows similar California action and alleges the data sales allowed insurers to raise some drivers' premiums. » More on theverge.com

General Motors unveiled a tech roadmap centered on AI-driven vehicle development, centralized compute, virtualized testing and next-generation batteries to halve development time and lower costs. The company emphasizes onboard inference for safety-critical functions, a multisensor suite (camera, radar, lidar) and a path to personally owned autonomous vehicles rather than robotaxi-style deployments. GM also rejects humanoid factory robots in favor of specialized robotic form factors and says privacy controls and data encryption will govern in-car AI services. » More on theverge.com

General Motors announces it will reduce development time from concept to series production from four–five years to about two years using AI and virtual development. GM is relying on parallel work processes, its own OnStar AI, significantly more computing power and a new manganese‑rich battery chemistry (LMR); the new central computer is expected to debut in the Cadillac Escalade IQ in 2028. The move is intended to catch up with fast Chinese competitors and European manufacturers like VW and BMW, but concrete timelines for implementation are lacking. » More on finanzen.net
