Technology continues to play a central role in transforming our world, and the auto insurance space is no different. With competitive pressures driving insurers to find ways to cut business costs and improve both productivity and efficiency, the utilization of telematics technology is becoming increasingly popular. Often derided for being behind the times, the insurance industry is showing its innovative side in embracing telematics solutions.
