Telematic Data

and no I'm not some dickwad who would think gunning it qualifies.

I would hope not.

But they jumped it on the commercial
That was insane though, peer pressure is a B$tch
The balance seemed pretty good for that far a jump, the most real general lee jump Ive seen.

I'd bet that was an alcohol fueled, "hold my beer" jump.....

It was cool to see, but I feel bad for the guy - he trashed a nice Raptor. I wouldn't be surprised it if totaled it. At the very least it would be a very expensive repair since the air bags deployed.

That is a hell of a mistake

Does the Ranger collect and share telematic data of your driving, locations, and basically everything you do in or around the vehicle? Asking for a friend

they can look at how the vehicle has been driven like top speed, avg speed ect. but I don't know about location I wouldn't think so.

There is a fuse for the 'telematic' circuit.... not sure if that would throw a CEL or what other adverse affects it may have..... might need to find out

I think privacy concerns are valid. There has to be ethics with the use of information.

Let me provide context. I work in a financial related field in that products we manufacture and service contain personally identifiable information. For numerous reasons I wont get into the specifics.

We go to great lengths to ensure that personally identifiable information is stripped, encrypted or masked before it it leaves the the device. This way engineering and service has access to product performance without having any ability to reach back to details of the source.

There is specific guidance and standards with the financial realm. I'm not sure what exists in the automotive realm.

this sheds more light

What other light? That the driver gave into peer pressure?

Just like in the commercials, State Farm monitors where I drive, how fast I accelerate and take curves, as well as all my other driving habits. It's all to get a discount on my premiums. I don't particularly like it, but if I want the discount, I have to live with it.

What happens when you go offroad? No way I could handle them analyzing my driving all the time. Something like that may good for a work vehicle that is shared. You dont ever have the urge, to get down on it sometimes? I dont rag my vehicles, but I want to have fun once and while. I do go offroad a good amount, and that is pretty stressful for any vehicle.

Unfortunately, I'm constantly tracked. They even keep a report card on me that I can view on their website. . .and yes, I do want to go pedal to the metal from time to time, especially in my Corvette!

the unfortunate thing with the telematics for insurance purposes, there isn't always a clear picture on why some of your driving events get picked up.
that hard stop, that sudden turn, they can all be made fr a number of reasons, not just crappy driving skills. and the insurance companies dont distinguish between them

That's essentially the same thing I've been saying this whole time which you didn't agree with. The dealers do the same thing.

Even the vette????????? thats blasphemy against cars
Seriously though, I have respect for your discipline <---------------------Im not joking about that.

Yes, it's very difficult not to want to let the engine "breathe" a little from time to time, especially since the engine has well over 400 HP.

Social events usually entail friends

Cool story bud.

Hi R1ch, at the top of the page there's a option to unwatch this thread so you will not receive notifications. I hope this helps.
