There are phone apps out there that make a lot of money by secretly tracking your driving habits. For example, a weather app might sell your speeding habits to insurance companies. Then your rates suddenly rise. However, Honda claims its new insurance won’t track you. 

Honda insurance promises not to track drivers 

Honda is the latest automaker to join the trend of offering insurance. Ford, Tesla, and General Motors already offer insurance when you purchase a car. This way, you get to ignore third parties for direct service. 

According to AutoWeek, Honda Insurance Solutions is a licensed insurance agency. It offers competitive pricing and coverage options for autos, motorcycles, homes, and more. 

But the Japanese automaker is doing things a bit differently by refusing to sell your driver data. Some automakers track your driving habits to sell to insurance companies. This is how insurance rates are set. 

The automaker shared that it has not provided data to insurers to offer safe driver discounts. Tesla, on the other hand, bases your premium on how you drive. Technology in its EVs tracks your real-time driving habits. 

Ford partnered with Nationwide. Its vehicles track and provide how far you drive, hard braking, acceleration, idle time, and how much you drive at night to determine your rate. 

General Motors OnStar Insurance is available for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles. It tracks your driving behavior via OnStar. Insurance rates are based on how safe you drive. 

So Honda swears to be less of a creepy stalker if you buy one of its cars. Is that enticing, or do you care if apps track you?
