Life360 identifies driving behaviors that increase the likelihood of accidents. These include rapid acceleration, hard braking, and speeding. A combination of these events during a single trip contributes to a lower Drive Safety Score and may be flagged as a potentially dangerous driving event. For example, exceeding the speed limit multiple times combined with a sudden stop could be categorized as such an event.
Monitoring driving habits promotes safer roads for everyone. By providing feedback on potentially dangerous actions, the app encourages drivers to be more mindful of their behavior behind the wheel. This awareness can lead to improved driving habits, reducing the risk of accidents and contributing to overall road safety. This feature initially emerged as part of a broader family safety platform and has evolved alongside advancements in mobile technology and data analysis.
