IOT/Telematics

The application, developed with Cambridge Mobile Telematics, is the latest example of carriers turning to telematics to thwart distracted driving.

Insurers are leveraging connected devices to solve a wide range of customer issues.

Commercial insurer will make technology available to clients that reinforces proper lifting form, with the goal of reducing workers' comp claims.

Companies will invest in building out and owning datasets, learning things about their customers that no one else does, and delivering exactly what those customers want and need.

As the number of connected devices increases, so will the vulnerabilities that they are laced with, not to mention the potential impact these could have if exploited.

The auto insurtech has come a long way in the past year. Dan Manges, co-founder and CTO, talks about its growth aspirations.

As the first member of tech company Roost's Home Telematics Consortium, the insurer will distribute kits to customers, in return for data that will help enhance pricing accuracy and loss mitigation.

Carriers are looking to expand their addressable market for risk management services, and innovative solutions are key.

With underwriting results deteriorating in personal auto, carriers hope to reduce risky habits among their policyholders.

Agreements give carriers access to aerial imaging and distracted driving prevention technology.
