How do insurance companies use connected vehicle data?

The data from your vehicle will be used for insurance purposes. For example, this could be to support a Pay-As-You-Drive policy (usually priced based on the miles driven) or a Pay-How-You-Drive policy (primarily focused on your driving behaviour). However, we recommend you check with your insurance company regarding what data is sent and how they will use the data - this information is also likely to have been included in your policy documents too.

The data may include location and driving characteristics (e.g., speed, acceleration, distance travelled).
