I believe insurance companies already look at your location when deciding premiums, so this would just give them greater granularity on your actual driving habits.

In the limit of perfect knowledge being transferred to your insurer, will an insurance stop being one, instead turning into an obligation to pay a middleman for all your claims?

Only if that perfect knowledge includes knowledge of future events such as a tree falling on your car or it being struck by lightning etc.
