General Motors' hands-free communication and vehicle safety service, OnStar, has partnered with Progressive Insurance to collect driver assessment data to not only provide drivers with a snapshot of their driving habits, but also grant drivers the opportunity to seek insurance discounts from Progressive.

The new connected vehicle services will allow OnStar subscribers a chance to reenroll in a program that provides a detailed driving assessment spanning a 90-day evaluation period. The assessment, which will be provided only to OnStar subscribers, will detail their driving performance in important driving metrics, and will further indicate how they compare against an aggregate of anonymous subscribers also participating in the program. From there, OnStar will provide driving tips based on areas that have potential for improvement.

Following the assessment, qualifying subscribers can share their driving data and evaluation information with Progressive through its Snapshot program. While this program is voluntary, participating customers could receive discounted and personalized insurance offers from Progressive based on their driving habits.
