No, you do not have to drive with Uber or have Progressive insurance to win. The Safest Driver app is available for everyone and any driver who meets the eligibility criteria, and all eligible drivers can win prizes.

Your driving scores for speed, acceleration, braking, cornering and phone use are measured using the following data sources:

• Location, speed and heading
• Accelerometer data
• Gyroscope data
• Magnetometer data
• Barometer data
• Time
• Information about app usage

By participating in this contest, you consent to Cambridge Mobile Telematics Inc. sharing data on your driving habits and app usage with the contest co-sponsors, Uber and Progressive. Progressive will receive no individual driver-level data. Uber will receive individual driver-level data exclusively for safety analytics purposes, and it will not impact your user status or earnings with Uber.

Your data is protected in accordance with the app’s privacy policy, available at www.cmtelematics.com/company/privacy.

Using the sensors in a mobile phone, the app assesses driving performance in five key areas:

• Speed
• Acceleration
• Braking
• Cornering
• Distraction

After each trip, the driver will receive a score and feedback on any unsafe driving behavior. Participants will also have an opportunity to earn achievement badges.

Yes, this access is required for the app to work. Specifically, on iOS 13+ you must select “Always Allow” location permission so that the app can detect trips. Similarly, on Android 10 you must choose “Allow all the time” location access for the app to accurately measure trips and function properly.

Anyone with a smartphone that downloads the Safest Driver app and registers to participate will appear on the leaderboard for their contest city. Not all participants in the contest are eligible to win a prize, as there are eligibility requirements. Therefore, the contest city leaderboard may not necessarily reflect the potential winners. Official Rules and eligibility requirements can be found at https://safest-driver.com/uber-progressive/contest-terms/.

iPhones running Apple iOS 10 or higher and Android smartphones running Google Android 6.0 or higher.

The following phones are not compatible with the app:

Samsung Galaxy Note II, BLU Life One XL, HTC One Max VZW, HTC M8, HTC One M8 Eye, Huawei P7, Huawei P7 mini, Huawei Ascend P7 and Moto G (third generation).

No. Once the app is installed, it will automatically run in the background. The app can detect distracted driving based on smartphone movement.

The safe driving score surfaced in the app is calculated based on individual driving skills as determined exclusively by CMT methodology. The methodology monitors the frequency and acceleration intensity, braking intensity and frequency, and average speed of the vehicle in relation to posted speed limits, along with interaction time with phone while a vehicle is moving. Participants will receive a rating between 1 and 5 (5 being the highest) and suggestive correction action (if applicable) after each trip in each of the following categories: braking, acceleration, cornering, speeding and distraction. A user will receive a driving score after one (1) trip has been completed. At the conclusion of each entry period, the driving score is calculated (highest score possible is 100).

An internet connection is not required to record a drive. It is required in order to upload the drive to CMT servers to be processed and scored, and it is required in order for the app to download new scored trips.

No. Phone apps cannot run if the phone is powered off. However, turning the screen off is fine.

Yes. However, the contest ends April 26, 2020 and you will no longer be eligible for prizes after this date.

The app learns your driving behaviors over time including your common routes. You can review and correct your trip classification from driver to passenger or vice versa if needed. To label your status, open the app and navigate to the trip’s screen. Tap the Steering Wheel Icon in the upper right corner. You will see a series of options to select the correct mode.
