Insurance outfits have been eager to track cars in the name of lower costs and driver safety, but it looks like even major urban centers are getting in on the action.

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.

If you get in, you'll get tips on fuel efficiency, route planning and safety based on your driving habits.

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.

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