This sensor data includes odometer reading, acceleration and speed. The driving performance for every trip is mapped to a score on a scale of 11-100.*

*Drive Pulse measures harsh cornering, fast acceleration and harsh braking, and provides a drive pulse score based on these factors. Not to be used as a general driver performance measure. Should another driver use the vehicle this will contribute towards the overall aggregate of the primary account holders Drive Pulse score.
