State Farm looney patent would monitor you like a lab rat
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nerdwallet/state-farm-plans-to-get-i_b_8294164.html
While State Farm's plans may never be implemented, the carrier
clearly has many ambitious ideas about monitoring customer
behavior, such as its previously described ideas to price car
insurance by the trip and deliver targeted ads based on where
you drive. Many consumers aren't aware that auto insurers are
preparing to unleash a tsunami of such services based on
telematics, systems that track your car and driving habits.
Progressive was the first to enter the space and dominated it
for a while with its Snapshot usage-based insurance program.
