1. A computing device, comprising:
one or more hardware memory units; and
one or more processors;
wherein the computing device is configured to access and employ the memory units and processors to:
automatically initiate a movement data analysis software application, the movement data analysis software application being configured to receive movement data collected by one or more movement sensors of the computing device, the one or more movement sensors of the computing device being configured to detect and collect movement data of the computing device when the computing device is moved;
analyze the received movement data to determine a binary output, the binary output including one of: the received movement data corresponds to movement of the computing device in an automobile during a first driving trip or the received movement data corresponds to movement of the computing device not in the automobile and during a non-driving trip;
responsive to determining that said received movement data corresponds to movement of the computing device in the automobile during the first driving trip:
store and output data corresponding to the first driving trip;
activate at least one additional movement sensor, the at least one additional movement sensor being a vehicle-based sensor different from the one or more movement sensors of the computing device;
initiate a communication session with a vehicle-based computer system in communication with the vehicle-based sensor and different from the computing device to obtain additional data from the at least one additional movement sensor; and
responsive to determining that said received movement data does not correspond to movement of the computing device in the automobile during the first driving trip receive additional movement data collected by one or more movement sensors of the computing device.
