Having your car automatically upload driving data so that insurance companies can “customise” premiums. What could possibly go wrong. theregister.com/2020/08/18/a…

Are you saying that people who keep the speed limit should subsidize those who break them? Flip out around: The privilege of making the roads less safe for others, can be bought with higher premiums and payment of the occasional speeding ticket!

I’m saying my car punishes me regularly for “braking too hard” when I am doing so to avoid killing a cyclist

If you need to do much more hard braking than the average driver, what does that mean? Either you drive in areas that pose more risk than average, or you drive in a manner that causes more risk than average. From the insurance company point of view, that means you are more risk.

If you *regularly* "brake too hard," you are an above average risky driver. That's the data. Everyone brakes hard *occasionally*.
