Milage and fuel consumption might not be of interest to sell, that is just valuable for owners and renters.
But car manufactures and insurance companies are very interested in big data, and our hardware can track any moving part or electrical system in the car and create alot of data which they can analyze. We can for example see how the way you drive the car impacts the health of the engine, brakes, time between service to name one of 1000 different scenarios.

Interesting information. I've never heard of the fact that manufacturers and insurance companies pay money for the information they provided about the car.

Yes they do in the near Future. Insurance companies have a high interest about car data. Maybe you are always too fast, then you have to pay more for insurance, than someone who always drives normal. These informations are important for big data analyse about your life. Why do you think are companies like Google, Facebook and co the richest companies in the world. They sell informations. You pay with your life. Collecting all your data ist more and more important. Thats Bad, but there is nothing we can do. Because 99% of ppl accept this. In case of hbz, a insurance company needs to know, how many different ppl drive your car. Then they can calculate the price for insurance contract with helbiz. I think, a helbiz box can generate lot of interesting informations, for a lot companies.
