Are you a jerky driver? iPhone App tells you so

/in

In the interesting-but-useless category of apps, this iPhone app measures your braking, acceleration, and cornering and gives you a score of smoothness. If I had this app back when I was 17 and driving my just-purchased ’69 Dodge Charger R/T, I probably would be using this app to see how crazy I could drive and compare my score against my other crazy friends. Now if State Farm, the company that released this app, used the scoring as a way to adjust my insurance rates (up or down), that’s another story. Until then, I stand on my interesting-but-useless categorization.
