There's a lot of jerk drivers who go way too fast and drive very dangerously. They should have to pay significantly more for it. For people that drive correctly, they should be charged less as well. I don't see why this is an issue.
Fun new line of business idea: Manufacturers could claim the texas abortion bounties by reporting any motorist who travels to an out of state clinic.
The problem with allowing this kind of data usage is you will also have other moral authoritarians that wish to use the data as well.
There are plenty of data brokers who will sell your personal location data, independent of your vehicle, obtained from the apps on your phone.
The cars are not capable of measuring how dangerous the driving is.
Sure they are. Speed is easy to detect for instance. Someone driving 50mpg in a 25mph school zone should have massive increases to their insurance as they present huge risk.
Cars don't know about school zones and the reported data lacks even the signal of "50 in a 25." It's just a boolean: speeding, true or false. I'm skeptical of the idea that 61 in a 60 zone should be considered as dangerous as 130 in a 25, for example.
Should the fine be the same regardless of whether it's five minutes after school let out out or 3AM on Christmas day?
