    Sound kinda fishy to me. How much is Motive every month ? Someone is going to give up all that data to save $30 a month. One insurance company is doing this for cars. You plug a data recorder into you car. The insurance company can then see how fast you drive and how any miles you do ever month. Then give you a small discount under the idea your a safe drive and you should not have to pay for the bad drivers.

    Remember when ELDs first come out and lots of people saying insurance companies would love to have acces the data.

    Yepp, Verizon was not the only case. I actually went through a number of the insurance programs for passenger cars and true, not all of them are beneficial for owners. And it depends on the conditions you accept.
    Personally I would not choose the program where the premium can go higher myself - only it it goes lower or in worst case stays the same.

    In general, commercial vehicle insurance is slowly moving to telematics data driven policies starting from bigger fleets. My assumption it's just a matter of time

    Actually it's all about sharing the data for short period of time, not giving it all up. And speaking about Motive subscription, I thought it would be logical, but would appreciate if you share a fair option here. My goal is purely technical - analyze any Motive data from any truck (no preference) and put the technology to the test. Unfortunately, I could not find any other way to do it.

    In other words, you want the drivers to assume the workload and you pay them peanuts to test your product.

    I think most of them are already familiar with that kind of deal.

    So you are just seeing a dystopian future and instead of saying "no, i will have no part of that", youre actively trying to make that a reality?

    Quit building things that make things worse

    It would have been better had you NOT known, you could have simply been ignorant of the rammifications, instead, you just dont care

    Id leave it be, better to let the information sit there than have it go hidden

    Better to KNOW what your enemies look like

    Yeah - look, I'm just a single dumb end user. A $26 carrot doesn't even buy you a phone call.

    As others have said, quit trying to shove more "Data driven - Telematic - App this - website that - " regulation horse hockey muppet turds down our throats.

    Go buy you a big 'em truck and do it for a while - you'll see what we mean.
