I don't disagree, but they already know where I live and how far my commute to work is (was, yay WFH) as those are standard questions I've answered with every company I've used.

> It isn't just about your driving performance, if you're driving in places or intersections
To underline this, I had an enlightening moment with my auto insurance company years ago. I worked a handful of miles from where I lived, but the only way to get between the two was a freeway that is infamous for not only being highly congested (my average commute was a 45 minute drive each way), but for the numerous accidents that happened on it.
I moved much closer to my work, and when I updated my insurance policy with my new address, my premium was cut to nearly 1/3rd what it was before.

If it's not about the drivers performance perhaps the box shouldn't consistently beep at them to let them know about how they are driving, to the point of distraction.
It's a failure of the industry that they tend to market this monitoring as all about the driver. It's really not, it's just conditional probability.
