Should cell providers sell customer data/metadata to car insurance providers? It, after all, in the best interest of the insurers.

If there's enough data to suggest that with a high degree of probability people using their cell phones in certain ways while operating a vehicle causes damages then yeah, there should be a market for that. I'm not saying there shouldn't be legislation that limits which types of data can be shared, but certainly if there's useful information that has a market that leads to better safety and lower insurance prices, then I'm all for it.
