New York City is launching a Drive Smart test program that will have 400 drivers install an OBD-II tracking device in return for a range of perks.

Ideally, this will save both you and NYC some money, not to mention a lot of frustration -- you won't add to the city's notorious traffic congestion.

Do you really think this is going to work?
The pilot runs until the end of August 2016, and could lead to a larger effort if it proves successful. Whether or not it does is up in the air, however.

While these trackers can do a lot to promote better driving, they also require that you give up a degree of privacy.

Is Drive Smart the right answer?
And of course, a lot of New York City's traffic involves cabbies, ridesharers, visitors and other drivers who aren't really good candidates for Drive Smart.

As promising as this data-based driving initiative sounds, it may only have a limited amount of success in tackling gridlock.
