What is Telematics?

At HiRoad, telematics refers to using the technology in your phone to understand how you drive. The sensors in your phone help measure specific driving behaviors when you’re on the road, such as distraction and speed. Over time, that data is used to show what you’re doing well and where you can improve.

We use telematics to calculate your Driving Scores, which help determine your Safe Driving Discount. The safer you drive, the higher your scores may be.

You can learn more about how we calculate your Driving Scores in this article.
