Don’t worry. The next paragraph provided an email address where you can send reports of inaccuracies for them to review.
Jfc my heart goes out to everyone who is financially coerced into getting one of these policies. This is not okay. People who have a voice need to push back on this. Your own devices should never be used against you.
Yeah was about to say, my phone can't even tell whether I'm walking or cycling or taking a bus, I have exactly 0 hope it could tell whether I'm driving or not other than not being connected to my car's bluetooth which will be exactly what they are doing here of course!
Oh good, then I'm safe. My phone doesn't connect to my car's Bluetooth unless is configure it every drive.
iPhone eh?
I think that we are talking about insurance policies that make you install an app on your phone directly. The app publishes directly to the Internet.
Damn thing won’t even track steps when I’ve got a purse on.
Motion sensors don’t provide localization. Gps on cellphones are only really accurate to a few dozen meters.
You can couple gps and motion (and changes in gps location) to fudge it. Which is why when you diverge off the route navigation provides… it takes it a moment to figure it out. In the display, they “know” you’re on the road so it doesn’t have to be that accurate, they just guess what lane you’re in based on direction and such.
They’re certainly not going to know what seat you’re in.
I always place my phone in the center console anyways, there would be zero way to tell who is driving. Not that I'd ever install such an app...
You would do that in a taxi?
I mean it wouldn't really make a difference if the phone is in my pocket and I'm sitting still or if the phone is in the center console.
I'll just put my phone in the trunk in the future.
What if my phone is sitting in the cup holder in the center console... What if I sit it on the passenger seat and it slides of on a turn and slams into the dash? Will they assume I've been in some horrible accident.
Second rule in the book of the road is driver controls the stereo. Now more cars you have to plug in or connect Bluetooth so it's safe to assume that if you're connected to a car stereo you're the driver
Not sure if this is a joke. For years my phone was the only one paired with the Bluetooth on my wife’s car as I like to play music when I drive it but she couldn’t be bothered to mess with it and listens to the radio. That doesn’t mean that I am usually the driver in the car though as she usually drives it. It was paired for the few times she wasn’t in the car and I had to use it.
