I'm not asking for my premiums back and don't expect it. Just saying that after 5 years of premiums the insurance company would be break even on that policy.

I'm not asking for my premiums back and don't expect it. Just saying that after 5 years of premiums the insurance company would be break even on that policy. If premiums are high enough its not really insurance. Not that everyone has the same insurance company but generally if everyone has paid premiums that meet the value of the car after 5 years then all of the insurance company risk is with cars less than 5 years old. The insurance company will keep pushing for more intrusion into your life to 'give you the best rate' but really you'll just pay more. Like you said if it wasn't profitable then no one would do it. Making apps and integrating with telematics doesn't come for free and its not coming out of the insurance company bottom line.
