So, here's a path to safer driving. I think that the electronic devices you can add to cars to track acceleration & movement will be really helpful. http://blog.esurance.com/drivesense-discount/ http://blog.esurance.com/drivesense-discount/ With big data, and knowing when they were in an accident, we'll be able to identify more signs of bad driving. But just having an accelerometer/GPS on the car isn't quite enough...
I think there's a lot of potential in self-driving cars to identify bad drivers. When you have thousands of cars using LiDAR to accurately track the movements (and crashes) of human-driven cars, we'll gain a better understanding of what makes an unsafe driver, and we'll be able to identify incidents that were _almost_ a crash. With more LiDAR-recording cars on the road, insurance companies could ask Google to send them examples of bad driving for all their insurees.
So, one day, I might get a higher bill from State Farm because hey, they have evidence of me being an unsafe driver. If it's backed by data, then I'm in favor of it.
Haha! I'll absolutely reach out if I visit southern Poland. But I was making a pun--- "run into" is also used in american english to describe a car crashing into something. i.e. "I ran into a stop sign."
- TeMPOraL 11y agoYeah, sensors and tracking technology will be helpful. Self-driving cars even more, but before that I agree tracking seems like a reasonable way to go (despite the privacy issues), and there's even a way to reliably feed the results back to the drivers - insurance companies have a strong incentive to use this data, and the drivers I know are surprisingly responsive to the potential of getting their insurance rates raised ;). > Haha!

I suspected you might have been doing it, but decided to assume the non-pun interpretation was also true :).
