I guarantee you it'll cost a lot more in the long term when shit like this becomes mandatory and we end up with things like speeding tickets in the mail without ever getting pulled over. Need to kill it now, before it becomes the norm. If you've opted in, cancel and unplug that OBD transmitter. If you've downloaded the app, uninstall it. People have no idea how valuable our data has become. Don't believe me? Google "personal data as a commodity". Then ask yourselves what will my insurance company actually do with this data? Why are they so eager to offer a "discount" when profit is their only concern? They are the ones who will profit from this, not you.
