The Unseen Passenger: How Telematics Data Is Reshaping Private Passenger Auto Insurance
As auto manufacturers build more sophisticated safety devices into their cars, telematics providers will need to access to determine that they are present and operating.
Some drivers will find ways to provide misleading information, such as turning off systems or moving sensors. Insurers have learned to begin monitoring on a short-term basis, then extend programs only when information patterns fall within expected ra
Insurers have spent decades attempting to assess drivers' likely behavior. Nothing tells that story like the data generated by telematic devices.
Insurers interested in tapping into telematics technology can benefit from more sophisticated hardware, speedier communications technology and the widespread use of cloud storage.
More sophisticated telematics technology has been matched by greater ease of storing and accessing data, thanks to the growing presence of cloud-based computing.
