Does it actually tell you the results? I'm curious how they score your driving, and how effective it is. The scariest things I see on the road are things like:

  • distracted driving
  • tailgating
  • lack of awareness

I don't see how they'd measure how safe a driver you are.

Perhaps it's just that people are more careful when they know they're being monitored, and safe drivers are more likely to opt in?

How would they even know you are the driver and not a passenger?

My car can detect if there's someone in the passenger seat, and sends an alert if they didn't fasten their seat belt.

Sure but what about the smartphone in your pocket?

Ah, I didn't understand how the app worked. Thanks!
