The piece they link to on insurance gives a fairly good overview of the pros and cons. If you're 17 with fresh driving licence it's hard to argue with upto 40% off your £1,000+ insurance premium. That many won't be identified as good drivers doesn't matter - they'll all assume they're great, and it must be a mistake when the renewal comes through!
This was telling...
"The popularity of these new-style policies is largely being driven by the youth market: 71% were taken out by motorists under the age of 25, compared with only 3% for over-50s, says Gocompare"
So softening up the new generation to be accepting of telemetry and tracking in many ways. By the time they're making real decisions it's "just normal".
It's going to be an interesting (in the apocryphal Chinese curse sense) future.
