Smartphone apps that track driving behavior can lead to safer road conditions, according to AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
Smartphone apps are used by insurance companies for usage-based insurance programs to measure dangerous driving behaviors and determine premiums.
A study conducted by AAA showed that participants who received feedback via text messages on their driving behavior exhibited reductions in speeding, hard braking, and rapid acceleration.
Positive reinforcement through smartphone apps can lead to safer driving habits and save lives, as evident from the study.
