Super conflicted about this one. For sure, im against their (mis)use of user data and that is bad in all sorts of ways. buuuuut, i cant help but smile a bit about the fact that asholes driving like maniacs are getting some sort of punishment. I’ve met them and i wish them hell.
They ding you for everything even you have this feature enabled for you (knowingly or unknowingly). Remember hearing about a user whose cat would run in front of his car when he was parking it at the end of the day. Car registered it as him almost hitting an object.
Drive on super bad/winding roads with bad lines? Lane assistance might show you as going over the lane lines that aren’t even there.
This service won’t be used to lower rates.
Hmm, ok. Didnt know that and Im a little bit less conflicted now.
It would be kinda cool if you could submit dashcam footage of people cutting people off and blowing down the road at 3x the speed and have their insurance company see it though.
