Even monitoring for traffic violation or bad driving is questionable. How are they going to differentiate between bad driving because you weren't paying attention, and "bad" driving because someone cut you off and you had to take evasive action.
Like, maybe just leave me alone and stop trying to collect every bit of data possible on how I live my life. I don't trust them to correctly interpret anything they collect.
This is the big reason data collection is bad. People already lose their insurance over having to make an emergency maneuver. See: The LexisNexus debacle
If drivers are afraid to perform emergency maneuvers because they don't want to increase their insurance rates, that makes it more dangerous overall, and will increase the chance of a MVA.
