This summary contains 489 words. I'm neither a bot nor open source, but the bot summary was poo.
As usual, lack of transparency is of key concern. Digital opt-in where other people have physical control of the device and have a profit motivation should not be acceptable.
The quote about what is a hard brake exactly or heavy acceleration is most relevant to my thoughts. Without any context, are you hard braking to avoid dangers? How many hard brakes are acceptable? What is the penalty for hard braking, etc?
My girlfriend tried the OBD reader for her insurance for a bit, and it didn't anything one way or the other to her insurance. For something as random as driving, I dont see who would want to volunteer for it. We know the only direction prices ever move is up, so what does the consumer have to gain?
It accounts for speeding... How? Cross reference location with local speed limits? Record times above an internally set speed?
It mentioned logging speeds above 80 mph.
That's the highest speed limit I can find for the US, so if you're 80+, it seems you are breaking the law regardless of location.
There's one exception to this: the southern leg of Texas Highway 130, which runs east of Interstate 35 between San Antonio and Austin, has an 85mph speed limit.
Even the speed limits are bigger in Texas! 🤠
So you can get to a decent state faster.
