LexisNexis Risk Solutions and insurtech TrueMotion have partnered on a new telematics initiative, the latest industry alliance aimed at providing driver data to insurance companies.
Similar to LexisNexis’ deal with Mitsubishi, announced June 2, the partnership enables carriers to optimize information collected by connected-car stakeholders to develop their usage-based insurance offerings. LexisNexis’ Telematics Exchange program, which TrueMotion now joins, uses predictive modeling and advanced analytics to score data collected by auto manufacturers, dongle services and UBI smartphone apps, like TrueMotion’s.
