How does Drivewise know I'm driving?

I signed up to use Allstate Drivewise to get an insurance discount. I’m not really worried about the analytics of it. I just want to know one thing: how can Drivewise tell if I’m driving my car?

Allstate Drivewise
 knows if you’re driving by using your phone’s GPS. It uses this to tell how fast you’re going, how many miles you drive regularly, where you are, and how fast you brake.
The Drivewise app analyzes the data it collects and extends varying discounts to smart and safe drivers based on that information. You can potentially save up to 40% or more by using Drivewise, according to Allstate.
Another great way to save big on car insurance: Download the
Jerry
 app to compare rates quickly and easily. Jerry might help you find a policy that is leaps and bounds cheaper than Allstate’s—Drivewise discount or not. 
Jerry is a licensed insurance broker that will collect quotes from over 50 top-rated insurers in minutes. After you find a great rate, Jerry can help you buy new insurance and cancel your old policy. Users save an average of $887 per year.

What Others Are Asking

How much is a used 2010 Chevy Impala worth?
My dad wants to buy a new car, so he wants to offload his 2010 Chevy Impala. I’m in the market for a car, so I’m interested. The only problem is I think he’s attached sentimental value to it for reasons I’m not entirely sure of. As a result, he wants $10,000 for it, which seems on the high side. How much is a used 2010 Chevy Impala actually worth?

Does a car’s model year matter when you’re shopping for a vehicle?
Obviously the year indicates the car’s age, but does it have any bearing on quality or reliability?
