Root requires drivers to install its mobile app and perform test driving for several weeks while the app monitors the driving behavior in the background. The final preimum the driver pays for the car insurance is partly determined by the driving score calculated during the test drive. Root claims to be insuring only good drivers in order to keep premiums lower than other providers.
