I have an Android phone and use the Google app "My Tracks" to record walks I go on. Sometimes the rate that it tells me I'm walking jumps wildly high, even though I walk at a very constant rate. Sometimes it's 2x what it really is.

I would hate to be a good driver and be penalized for bad software/hardware. Given the track record of the auto companies (on which the insurance companies will rely), I think it's a given the software will be really shitty.



Mine used to reliably have me teleport into the United States then back into Canada during my morning commute. They've since fixed that bug :)

Edit: it wasn't actually teleporting, but it had me driving across fields, mountains, rivers, and the boarder all in about 1 or 2 minutes.
