Abstract
A computer-implemented method provides information about a financed, leased or insured vehicle having an onboard wireless-enabled usage reporting device for computing a risk associated with a financing, leasing or insurance obligation. The method entails receiving data from a remote computer to set parameters to be used by the device installed in the vehicle to measure real-time vehicle usage, computing on the device a confidence score based on the parameters and storing the confidence score in the device, the confidence score being indicative of a risk associated with the financing, leasing or insurance obligation of the vehicle, transferring the confidence score or information relating to the confidence score from the device to the remote computer in response to a command from the remote computer or automatically based on a predefined criterion, and displaying the confidence score to indicate the risk associated with the financing, leasing or insurance obligation.
