Honestly, reading these replies is making me even more nervous about the idea of just relying on “permissive use.” My parents and I had a long talk ab...
I’ve wondered about that too. My uncle tried one of those apps for a discount, and he said it mostly tracked hard braking and late-night drives. He ha...
