wouldn't you agree that having additional information about drivers around you could potentially make your trip safer/faster/better? Seems pretty obvious that by knowing more, you can only improve your driving experience...
it doesn't even matter who compiles this information, doesn't really even matter if it's 100% accurate.... for example: you look at weather report and see there is 30% chance of rain tomorrow, so you pack an umbrella to work just in case... no rain next day, no harm done...
same with drivers, driver ahead of you gets profiled as 30% risky, your car puts extra 5 feet space between you... if the algorithm turns out to be wrong, no harm done...
but if it's not wrong, the additional information it had and the action it took (5 extra feet of space) could potentially save your life...

my rule of thumb is if i agree with rochard, i am not thinking something through.
there's a reason we can't predict the weather accurately. we certainly can't base autonomous driving on imperfect predictions. bringing an umbrella is very much different from having cars play musical chairs with each other.
but just like the local weatherman sucks, so too will the guy who gets to decide who's the riskiest driver based on past tickets and dents.
my aunt is the shittiest driver on the planet and i literally cringe and look away when she's driving the car, but guess what, not 1 single ticket she's gotten. not 1 single accident. i'm going to be rerouted close to her but away from the guy with a door ding that got busted by a shithead cop for doing 56mph in a 55?
no thank you.
