Horrible loss for consumers in the long-run as there are already patents showing what monitoring is coming next. Eventually everyone will have to allow this kind of tracking to have an affordable rate. The data will be used for lots of other purposes besides auto insurance.
In the short-term consumers get immediate savings, so I expect this to be popular since we're all hurting out here.
