Block Box Auto Insurance
Canadian consumers now can purchase car insurance with a black box to monitor their driving.
Aviva Insurance has announced that it is launching “pay as you go” car insurance in Canada. These types of programs, which have been launched elsewhere, are based on the notion that data collected by a “black box” installed in the car can, if the driver qualifies, entitle the driver to considerable discounts.
Tyler Hamilton reported on the program in The Toronto Star today - details on the Aviva program are in his story, details on others are here, here and here, and discussions of car manufacturer “black box” data collection are here, here, here and here.

This is a nice concept, maybe it will make it to the states. This is the first time I have seen this technology, thanks for sharing.
