“Way too intrusive.”

You can say that again. So I will. Way too intrusive.

But I think auto insurance rates should be based, in part at least, on miles driven.

Doing it the way the article talks about with GPS calculating how far you’ve driven and paying periodically, yes it would be intrusive. But why do it that way ? Why not simply pay with your annual car registration renewal ? When you get the renewal bill, all it needs to know is the current mileage of the vehicle. With that and the VIN, it would be easy to calculate a true “wear and tear” fee based on the vehicle weight and the miles traveled in the previous year. Nobody needs to know where you’ve been, just how many miles you drove.
