Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a distributed ledger for use with vehicle sensor data and usage based systems. These usage based systems may be opt-in programs wherein a driver volunteers to install one or more vehicle sensors configured to monitor various characteristics associated with a vehicle (e.g., speed, acceleration, cornering, braking, path, etc.) that are utilized to develop a profile including information quantifying, for example, a driver's habits. Advantageously for the driver, such a profile can be utilized to reward safe drivers with lower insurance rates, including lower usage-based insurance rates.
