Root Insurance Company provides car insurance to drivers in 31 U.S. states. Root requires drivers to download their mobile app and perform test driving for several weeks while the app monitors the driving behavior in the background. If the driver passes the driving test, they are offered a premium which is based in part on the driving score calculated during the test drive. Root advertises that they only insure good drivers in order to keep premiums lower than other insurance companies.
