Could you high light the anti-texting app.




Ever heard of the insurance company Progressive? They have a product called "snap shot". It plugs into your car and it does the following:
Trip start date and time
Duration
Distance
Max speed
Time in different speed bands
Number of hard braking events
Number of extreme braking events (sometimes classified as accidents)
Number of hard acceleration events
Time spent at idle
Snapshots of speed at defined intervals

Progressive calls this policy a Pay As You Drive program a form of a usage-based insurance. They state that to get the greatest discount a driver needs to brake gently, drive less than the average driver, and minimize driving during rush hours and the time between midnight and 4:00 A.M.
