I wonder if it'd be worth spoofing packets with some automation? Get that sweet discount and still maintain your privacy?
If insurance companies mandate tracking I could see new efforts to do this like piracy and adblocking came about.
Imagine getting caught and having your claim denied or being sued for insurance fraud. I'm happy to use ublock origin, but what you're describing is playing with fire. We need to make sure it never gets to this point in the first place by making it illegal for insurance companies to do this.
I see your point. What a scary world.
