My insurance company has a phone app that collects the same info - speed, deaccelation (gyroscopes), etc. the app is optional but qualifies you for a discount after 3 months of app history, if your driving pattern meets their standards. They told me they do not impose rate increases based on the app’s reporting, only discounts. I did not install it
but the point is: You don’t need a car device anymore.
- toastal 3y agoYou at least bought a burner device to do this, right?
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoI did not install the app.

- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoThey’d be able to tell if the app were to require connecting to the car via Bluetooth. That connection won’t be there when traveling by train.
