This may save some people some money, but I&#x27;m not crazy about insurance-company OBD-II devices in my car, either.<p>I suppose these technological tattletales will resign us to a future where we&#x27;re either paying a premium for &quot;bad&quot; behavior (bad to an insurance company, anyway), or for privacy.<p>I await the lawsuits to expose insurance-company pricing models, when people figure out the industry isn&#x27;t using the stated attributes for punitive pricing, because those attributes do not, in fact, correlate to claims. (Note that I&#x27;m not saying the insurance industry won&#x27;t very quickly figure out which signals result in claims; I&#x27;m saying they won&#x27;t reveal what those signals are.)

At first, I thought they were partnering with Heathkit; I want my Apple Hero One robot!
