There's absolutely no point in having this be a cryptocurrency, unless there is some way that all the driving data will be posted to the blockchain and verified not to be fake by the blockchain. And blockchains definitely don't have the storage or computation to do any of that, plus who wants their driving data to be public?

Otherwise, it's just sending data to Comma in exchange for points. If you have one master account minting tokens (throughout the life of the currency), it's not really decentralized. They could have a SQL database with the same decentralization and security profile.

My guess is that the only use of blockchains here is to jump on the current ICO hype.
