waiting for google to get desperate for more revenue and just handing over all the map data to car insurance companies
rates will change. nobody will know why. then it will come out as a bombshell in a few years, nobody will care, congress stomp their feet, etc etc. it becomes the new normal

Years ago you could buy a device that let you plug those trackers in but then take them into your house (or wherever, out of your car) while still powered on.

After the monitor period your rates would go way down because you braked and accelerated like a grandma and barely drove your car per the records.
