“Telematics” refers to using the smart technology in your phone to understand how you drive. The sensors in your phone recognize distinct driving behaviors when you’re on the road, such as distracted driving and driving the speed limit. Over a period of time, that data gets calculated to show what drivers do well and where they can improve.
Telematics is used to calculate the HiRoad driving scores. The better you drive, the higher your scores. The higher your scores, the bigger your monthly reward will be. You can learn more about how we calculate your driving scores by reviewing this FAQ article.
