The technologies we rely on, both new and old, are now very effective tools that both governments and private firms are using to gather, analyze, store, and sell information about our private lives, habits, purchases, whereabouts, and even thoughts and beliefs. But some of this invasion of privacy pays a welcome dividend in convenience and power in our own lives. Where do we draw the line, and how can we use this potentially-invasive technology for our benefit, without sacrificing our private lives to commerce?

Actually, technically, it is true.
The probability of having an accident can be seen as an integration of probability over time. Since the probability of having an accident at any time is always positive, and never zero, the longer you spend driving, the more likely you are to have an accident.
