It seems at lest one progressive insurance company wants to connect to your car so it can adjust its rates based on your driving.
Progressive launches new insurance telematics program as Strategy Analytics predicts connected telematics revenues to triple
Auto insurance provider Progressive launched a new telematics program, Progressive Snapshot Discount. The program employs a telematics device that plugs into the on-board diagnostic port of a policyholder’s car and delivers driving data wirelessly to Progressive. The amount the car is driven, how fast, and other variables determine the driver’s insurance rate. Progressive was one of the first auto insurers to experiment with telematics. Its first telematics initiative, TripSense, gave way to MyRate, which in turn has led to Progressive Snapshot Discount. The new program is available in more than a dozen states, including South Dakota, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

A GPS can take you where You want to go but never where you WANT to be.
They would love us, but I say NO THANKS anyway !!!!!
My wife and I would benefit greatly from such a program, but I still do NOT want it. Our cars usually get less than 3,000 miles a year and I am not in a hurry any more, so they would love us for now.
It’s that “for now“ part that worries me. I would rather pay a little for my privacy and stem the tide of control by others that is sure to come.

i too put bogus info with the store discount cards
One of my college professors does this. One time I said that I am going to get a grocery store card and put his name and address on it.
He was NOT amused!

Reading the daily newspapers, I've come to the conclusion that lots of folks out there can definitely benefit from others running their lives for them.
Me, I don't need it. I'm perfectly normal and law abiding. And I don't buy junk food at the grocery store. And I keep my tires at the proper air pressure.
