I'm sure the software is badly written, but that's not the main problem. The whole premise is bogus. It's the insurance company behind it that's "getting you." They would still be "getting you" even if the software were bug-free. There's just way too much paternalism going down everywhere these days. Do you really want to volunteer for more? You can sign up to have a permanent backseat driver if you want, but I sure won't. I'm a big boy now, and I don't need or want daddy in the car with me every second and every mile. Not gonna dance to that tune. Not even for a discount on my insurance. And I drive like your grandma, too. For the same reason (among others), I'll never buy a Tesla. Remember when that "journalist" tried to kill the battery in an early Model S by driving it in circles in a parking lot? At first I was amused that the car's software ratted him out to Musk. Then I thought a little more about it, and decided it wasn't so funny after all. It's not just guys like that Tesla's spying on. It's EVERY Tesla driver, all the time. Musk is a brilliant businessman, and I'm glad he's pushed Detroit and Tokyo to get off their bums, but I'm just not interested in having him riding in my back seat.
