Take a look at this one (end of article). Might insurance companies make this madatory for most insurance?
In a proactive, yet ominous twist, insurer Progressive is forging ahead with a plan to give customers a discount on car insurance premiums by taking advantage of the brave new world of black boxes. Progressive’s TripSense pilot program in Minnesota (but likely headed for a nationwide rollout a year from now) allows Progressive customers to install monitors on their cars that record speed, miles traveled, and time of day that the driving occurred. Those who drive less, at lower speeds, and at safer times of day, can save up to 15 percent on their car insurance premiums (a GPS component to record whether the customer drove into higher-risk areas was eliminated after customers complained).
Some already see uses like Progressive’s as the first step down a slippery slope to constant monitoring of the driving public. Jim Haas, Progressive’s Minnesota product manager, admits some insurers may decide to tie insurability and risk to use of the box.
