Progressive Insurance tests system to record speed, other info

Progressive Auto Insurance is looking for customers interested in testing a new technology it calls Tripsense that records information while you’re driving about speed, distance, milage, and so on. “The TripSense program is still in the research stage, so we’re looking for policyholders to volunteer and to help us collect more driving information from vehicles across the country. We’ll send you a TripSensor that you plug into your car and forget about until it’s time to unplug it and send it to us. When you send the device back to us, will give you $50 for helping us with our research. The results will not affect your insurance rate; we just want to know how you drive — and we won’t even know that until you send us the info.” Here at Leftlane we think Tripsense would be a pretty neat technology… if it didn’t come from an insurance company.
