How long do you think it will be until they figure out how to get the same info from your phone? If they aren't already.

How will they know which car you're in for any given journey?

I don't understand how those will make a difference if a friend gives you a lift somewhere and back again? Or if your partner is driving?

You don't think there is tracking text or geo information that can identify you've had a convo with your friend and are going for a ride? That they can't identify acceleration habits between two people? It doesn't have to be perfect, its not like they're going to tell you how it works.
