The GPDR doesn't solve exactly this, because GM is an American company selling American drivers' data to other American companies. The GPDR is irrelevant here.

I think the point being made was that if the US had a similar version of GPDR, then GM’s activity would have fallen foul of the act.

That hypothetical wouldn't be the GPDR, and also, it doesn't exist. There is no US GPDR for a reason.

No one from the EU has ever visited the USA and driven a GM car which then had the data harvested?

That wouldn't apply. But if you bought a GM car while in the U.S and imported it to Europe GM better have thought of that eventuality.
