I noticed the McDonald's near my home is running a promotion. "Safe Driving" gets you discounts on McDonald's food. I'm in a particularly non-tech savvy area.

I noticed the McDonald's near my home is running a promotion. "Safe Driving" gets you discounts on McDonald's food. I'm in a particularly non-tech savvy area. I have not seen this is running in higher-income, higher-education neighborhoods, or any McDonalds inside universities. I didn't look into it, but I feel that the app probably uses GPS to know your location as much as possible in order to monitor "Safe Driving". I guess you could use only accelerometer data to look for hard acceleration/braking events, but I doubt that's the purpose. Seemed like a data broker trying to drum up new data sources. Edit: Coincidentally, the next YouTube ad I got after submitting this was a McDonald's ad.
