This decision follows significant backlash from customers regarding the Drive Smart scheme, a system designed to monitor and improve driving habits. Drive Smart is a compact device installed discreetly in vehicles, linking to an app on users' smartphones to provide feedback on driving behaviors such as speed, acceleration, braking, and cornering.
