gamification driving

Applying game design elements to driving behavior: points, badges, leaderboards, rewards, challenges, and competition used to motivate safer driving. Defined by the game mechanics themselves, regardless of platform. Differs from telematics_ubi_feedback, which ties feedback to insurance pricing, from in_vehicle_coaching, which gives direct live correction, and from public_messaging, which broadcasts persuasive messages rather than interactive game incentives.
