California’s New Insurance Tracking Bill | Oakland News

California’s new Assembly Bill 311 could revolutionize car insurance by letting insurers track your driving habits—speed, routes, behavior—to offer discounts to safe drivers. Backed by Rep. Tina McKinnor, the bill aims to boost road safety and address unfair ZIP-code-based premiums. But critics, including the state insurance department and consumer advocates, warn about privacy risks and lack of transparency, citing Maryland data showing few drivers actually saw rate drops—and some even paid more. The bill, which would be fully opt-in, has passed its committee and awaits Senate consideration—potentially reshaping how Californians pay for insurance.
