Do you know what your car is telling them about you?

Hi All

 

Exactly what is your car telling your insurer?

 

Carmakers including Kia, Subaru, Mitsubishi and General Motors are providing details of owners’ driving behaviour to insurance companies, leading many drivers to report surges in car insurance premiums despite industry claims that the transmitted data (‘telematics’) helps good drivers pay less.

The revelations have stoked a PR firestorm after the New York Times related the experiences of Seattle software company owner Kenn Dahl, who was stunned when the cost of renewing the insurance on his electric Chevrolet Bolt jumped by 21 per cent for no obvious reason.

@denbesten Driverless cars will be safe at some point, but yes, windows are necessary for safe driving.  Unless wants to be on social media or take risks.
