(August 10, 2020) — TORRANCE, Calif. — Honda and Acura have introduced an all-new Driver Feedback feature to the HondaLink and AcuraLink connected-vehicle applications. The new app-based feature, powered by Verisk Analytics, will allow participating Honda and Acura drivers to receive feedback on their driving techniques nationwide and to potentially earn discounts on vehicle insurance rates in 42 U.S. states.

Available to owners of eligible Honda and Acura models who have ever enrolled in a complimentary trial or subscribed to any AcuraLink or HondaLink package, Driver Feedback can provide vehicle sensor-based driving scores designed to encourage better, more fuel-efficient driving techniques. Driver Feedback can equip drivers with insights into behind-the-wheel behaviors that have proven correlation with insurance claims, including crash occurrences.



With the customer's consent to participate in this program, vehicle data is shared with Verisk, a global leader in risk intelligence and data analytics for the insurance industry, which analyzes the data and provides detailed feedback through the app along with an overall Driving Score. According to Verisk's analysis of driving behaviors and insurance risk, the lowest scoring drivers are seven times more likely to be involved in a crash or have an insurance claim than those with the highest scores.

Over a longer period, drivers who have opted-in to the Driver Feedback feature may receive score-based offers for insurance discounts through the AcuraLink or HondaLink app. Participation in Driver Feedback is optional at all times, and no specific vehicle or personal information is shared with any third parties, including insurance providers, without authorization from the subscriber.
