Question App-Centric? In 22 States?

Found with much anguish. To copy the comprehensive "Linked-in" quotes, I had to log in--which hasn't happened in a decade--so to log in, I was to take a "selfie" of my face--centered, left and right sides.

That's NOT going to happen!

Found elsewhere:

Quote:
"[Root] Sells app-centric car insurance in 22 states with pricing based heavily on how an individual customer drives. Prospective customers download Root app, activate a two to three-week test drive and then get a quote (if they qualify as a good driver). Users can pay, file a claim and get roadside assistance in-app. Funding: $171 million from Tiger Global Management, Redpoint Ventures, Ribbit Capital and..."&tc...
You'll have to leave your Smartphone behind should you travel as a passenger (a neighbor, Lyft, Uber). (Smartphones are trackable everywhere, no matter how you attempt to disable it).

Air travel is out during your "road test", which measures braking severity, weaving, quick accelerations, sharp turn-ins and other manuverings which tag you as a problem--or an "drug-influenced" driver.

Root.com isn't going to like that my seatbelt-use can't be tracked.
