    Abstract: Methods and systems for communicating data with an electric vehicle are disclosed. According to some aspects, insurance risk related data associated with use of the electric vehicle may be collected and stored in one or more memories included in the electric vehicle. When the electric vehicle is connected to an electrical grid for charging a battery included in the electric vehicle, in some implementations, a power-line communication unit may transmit the insurance risk related data over the electrical grid to one or more remote computer systems. The insurance risk related data may be used by an insurer to calculate insurance rating data so that an insurance premium (or rate, discount, usage-based insurance, etc.) associated with the electric vehicle and/or its driver can be adjusted to more accurately reflect a risk of recognizable loss. The insurance risk data may be related to driving or driving behavior, and/or vehicle operation.

    Abstract: The method, system, and computer-readable medium facilitates monitoring a vehicle operator during the course of vehicle operation to determine whether the vehicle operator is impaired (e.g., distracted, drowsy, intoxicated) and alerting the vehicle operator using a haptic alert delivered by a wearable computing device worn by the vehicle operator when impairment is detected. The method, system, and computer-readable medium may monitor the vehicle operator, the environment surrounding the vehicle, and/or forces acting on the vehicle using a variety of sensors, including optical sensors or accelerometers. In particular, optical sensors may monitor the vehicle operator to detect eye blinks, head nods, head rotations, and/or gaze fixation. Optical sensors may also monitor the road ahead of the vehicle to detect lane deviation, lane centering, and time to collision. Accelerometers may detect acceleration in the direction of vehicle travel and/or lateral acceleration.
