Patent attributes
A safe driving currency system may obtain telematics data indicative of a driver's operation of a vehicle, determine whether a driver is engaged in safe operation of a vehicle, and award safe driving currency (e.g., driving points) for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver may also enter safe driving tournaments to obtain safe driving currency. The driver may then use the safe driving currency to obtain user-selectable electronic and/or real-world benefits. For instance, the driver may use the safe driving currency to purchase an item in a video game or a physical good or service from a vendor (e.g., hotels, gas stations, coffee shops, online stores, etc.). As the driver traverses a route, the driver may be notified of vendors along the route at which the driver may spend the driver's safe driving currency.
