Driving points
A safe driving currency system may obtain telematics data indicative of a driver's operation of a vehicle, determine whether a driver is engaged in safe operation of a vehicle, and award safe driving currency (e.g., driving points) for operating the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver may also enter safe driving tournaments to obtain safe driving currency. The driver may then use the safe driving currency to obtain user-selectable electronic and/or real-world benefits. For instance, the driver may use the safe driving currency to purchase an item in a video game or a physical good or service from a vendor (e.g., hotels, gas stations, coffee shops, online stores, etc.). As the driver traverses a route, the driver may be notified of vendors along the route at which the driver may spend the driver's safe driving currency.

determine a safe driver score for each contestant based on the telematics data of the contestant;
determine a winner of each match based on which contestant of the plurality of contestants has a higher safe driving score;
in response to determining that there are a plurality of winners in the first round of matches, set up a second round of matches with the winners of each match from the first round of matches; and
in response to determining that there is only one winner left, award safe driving currency to that winner.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driving analysis server is further configured to:
receive, from a second mobile device of a person, an identification of a driver of a public transport; and
send, to the second mobile device of the person, a safe driver score of the driver of the public transport for display to the person.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the driving analysis server is further configured to:
identify first gaming behaviors of safe drivers that are different from second gaming behaviors of unsafe drivers; and
generate one or more rules for use in determining an insurance premium, wherein the one or more rules are based on the first gaming behaviors of safe drivers that are different from the second gaming behaviors of unsafe drivers.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the driving analysis server is further configured to:
receive an application for insurance from an applicant;
obtain gaming data of the applicant; and
apply the gaming data of the applicant to at least one rule of the one or more rules to determine an insurance premium for the applicant.
10. A computing device comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
receive telematics data associated with a vehicle;
send the telematics data to a second computing device;
receive, from the second computing device, an amount of safe driving currency;
determine that a route for a trip associated with the vehicle cannot be determined;
responsive to determining that the route cannot be determined, determine one or more third-party vendors that accept the safe driving currency and that are located within a user-selected distance from a current location of the vehicle, and location information of at least a subset of the one or more third-party vendors;
output a user interface comprising the subset and the location information to a display screen of the computing device;
receive, via the user interface, a user selection of a first third-party vendor of the one or more third-party vendors; and
