AAA Insurance Monitors Teen Drivers With Onboard Gadget


Want to keep your family safe, secure, and accident free while driving? AAA is introducing their new onboard gadget to monitor drivers, specifically targeted toward teens.

Within the past year, we've seen at least two major companies launch programs that promise to lower insurance rates for customers willing to give up a little privacy. For better or worse, another has now joined the ranks: AAA.

State Farm recently launched a similar initiative, the difference being that State Farm uses a smartphone app to give drivers instant feedback -- feedback that, for now, doesn't get reported back to State Farm HQ. Some might find that useful for driver education. Others probably find it a little creepy.
