Sorry if this has been addressed, but my wife and I are wondering just what the indicators under the "How is My Driving?" actually being calculated. I've searched the forum and have come up empty.

How’s my driving was developed by U.C. Santa Cruz graduates? Who knew :p
They wish. All the top leadership team got banned from UCSC due to some significant allegations of fraud following an Olympics of the Mind competition. Apparently one of the team members was accused of actually being a banana and not really a slug at all. Left a bad taste in the admissions team's mouths.

There was a bit of a fracas not too long ago when one of the admissions team members thought they were eating a banana that turned out to actually be a slug. That also left a bad taste, but appears to be unrelated to the How's My Driving development. Questions do remain, though.

My wife is the banana slug school graduate. I have no pony in their race as I went to San Jose State. :p

I also routinely get 99 to 100% on the scoring, not because I’m that good but because 1pd.

The really odd thing I see on my stats is that they all just slowly tend to go to zero the longer I drive. Even the speed number goes to zero, despite the fact that I routinely drive at or under the speed limit with cruise control.

Sammy don't know from banana slugs.

The only thing that I've ever noticed having an impact on the score is if you even think about starting to move your foot to cover the brake pedal in case that car backs out in front of that dump truck that's waiting on the stroller to cross against the light and makes the jackass in the Charger decide to go for it and jump the curb to make that left turn. Then your braking score drops 25%.

Are not bananas good for you? Cramping, nutrients?
Or are they now not politically correct and not an accepted food? 'Cause other hominid omnivores eat 'em?
Oh, just a slug thing.
"How is my driving" is just another software imperfection.

Ditto??‍♂ I reckon any data collated goes through some kind of pan galactic randomiser!

You may need a Pangalactic Gargleblaster to understand the coding. A lemon wedge wrapped around a gold brick can do wonders for the imagination.
