Want lower rates on your car insurance? All you gotta do is let big brother ride
shot-gun.Auto insurer Progressive Corp. has begun offering its drivers the chance to cut their costs based on how they actually drive, not only on their age, credit score and number of tickets or accidents on their record.
The monitoring device — sort of like a black box for cars — tells Progressive what time people drive, how many miles they've driven, how fast they accelerate and how often they hit the brakes. It does not track where people go.
I'm pretty sure that anyone that would sign up for such a idiotic program already has a tracking chip implanted in their neck. I wonder if they interfere with each other?
