Drivers that have not exceeded posted speed limits are receiving reports of severe or heavy speeding. GPS is not always able to tell which roads are being traveled, particularly in densely populated areas where roads may be stacked on top of each other (NYC, Baltimore, DC, etc.). Driver morale suffers when they have been driving impeccably all week and then see their score drop 4 or more points in one day when they were not actually speeding. Getting drivers to go to certain destinations can be a tough sell when they know that their score will drop as a result. Gamification only exacerbates this problem because then the other drivers can see a score drop even though the drop was undeserved. Our drivers are exceedingly competitive, so this inaccuracy has caused some frustration.

We are interested in getting vehicle status information on cruise control e.g. when it is enabled vs. disabled as well as what mode it is in. We are also interested in getting information about when power take-off (PTO) is enabled e.g. is a particular idle using PTO. Last but not least is when regeneration is occurring. Are these pieces of information available via the API? I do see PTO in the beta driver efficiency endpoint but it is not clear where that information is coming from. Let us know. Thanks!
