  • System and method for providing vehicle services based on driving behaviors
    Patent number: 10915964
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for encouraging and rewarding safe driving. A safe driving evaluation system determines the safe driving behaviors necessary to earn safe driving points. The safe driving evaluation system receives vehicle telematics data from a telematics device configured to obtain vehicle telematics data during the operation of a vehicle, and determines safe driving points based on the safe driving behaviors exhibited by the vehicle telematics data. Safe driving rewards are provided where the total number of safe driving points earned by a driver exceeds predefined thresholds. The safe driving rewards may be redeemed for discounts on products or vehicle services, or for fixed prices on gas. In addition, the safe driving points may be transferred to another individual for redemption.
