A profit-driven insurance company will of course use every means at their disposal to get out of paying out. That includes using every piece of information that might compromise your claim. Like the telemetry your own card is supposed to be keeping.

And further, how on earth can we even know they aren't lying? If the telemetry is kept remotely by some Other profit-driven corporation, and delivered to their buddies at the insurance company.

Is it not connected, but every new car in the US is already required to have an event data recorder, that in a collision saves at minimum such information as speed, throttle position, whether the brakes were applied, and whether the driver was wearing a seatbelt.
