If companies do start charging different amounts based on smart device data, it will most likely be discounts from an increased premium (which you wouldn't get without smart devices) rather than increases in fees due to usage behavior.

So in your case, better buy that smart device.

Companies already do: https://www.progressive.com/auto/discounts/snapshot/

In this case, Progressive gives you a discount in exchange for monitoring you.

But I've seen articles where other insurance companies (often in the UK for some reason) raise rates for things as seemingly innocuous as posting the wrong thing, or being "friends" with the wrong people on social media.
