Default The future of car insurance.

Is this the future of car insurance? I've been reading Tesla has launched it's own car insurance & started to use real time data to insure their cars by the month, It has a scoring system to determine whether you are a safe driver or bad driver but unlike the insurance company "black spy box" the new breed of electric cars have so many more parameters that log the drivers actions.

With automatic emergency braking systems it only needs a pedestrian or cyclist to dart out in front of the car which the radar registers as a 'Forward Collision Warning' & if you swerved to avoid them that would be deemed as aggressive driving , Likewise travelling too close to the car in front or heavy braking. That would mess up your monthly safety score upping your premium for that particular month. I wonder how long it will be before the laws are changed & the car will issue you with a Penalty Charge Notice for breaking driving laws https://electrek.co/2022/04/18/tesla-la ... qus_thread
