Today, however, there are still significant regulatory limitations in Italy: the policy is linked to the plate number and, therefore, to the vehicle. Carsharing, for instance, is set to have a strong influence on the policy sector, as it naturally pushes towards a customisation of premiums based on the users.
Car ownership becomes only one of these forms. In addition to increasing the connectivity available on board and between vehicles and infrastructure, insurance also boosts the forms of mobility. From a technical point of view, to use a piece of data to create a specific tariff, it is necessary to have a consistent historical basis to be able to make a comparison. This solution will eventually be extended to numerous types of ADAS. Insurance companies have already begun to include ADAS in their fares, resulting in a positive impact on prices, as in the case of ABS and assisted braking: by increasing safety, insurance premiums fall.

When it comes to safety, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) also play their role. That data is a useful tool to enhance safety and improve mobility. For instance, indicating the levels of danger of a journey, mapping the holes on the road and knowing those with the highest frequency of accidents. The data aggregated by insurers can also be a valuable resource for the entire community. Thanks to this information, it is also possible to adopt preventive policies: for example, to manage distraction in case of improper use of the smartphone by sending alerts to the driver. Unipol is already able to create policies tailored to the customer who uses its application, based on how the vehicle is used and the driving style. Insurance companies must evolve from compensators to problem solvers. By 2027, all the means of transport sold will be connected and the companies will develop alliances with companies operating across different sectors adjacent to the RCA (Responsabilità civile per gli autoveicoli) insurance sector: from petrol pumps to primary needs, starting with health and nutrition. Today, insurance companies must evolve from compensators to problem solvers. The era of insurance only as “ATMs” to draw on to be compensated is over. Nowadays, thanks to black boxes fitted in vehicles (such as Unipol’s Unibox – there are currently four million of these devices in the market), it is possible to create not only more personalised profiles and offer but also new improved services. The creation of insurance rates has also significantly changed: in the past, standard information was sufficient, such as the model of the car, the age and the residence of the owner. Technology is continuously evolving together with the amount of data generated by a vehicle.
Here, Giacomo Lovati, AlfaEvolution Technology and Linear Assicurazioni CEO, part of Unipol group explores the black boxes and why they have propelled the insurance industry to new heights. The automotive field is changing a lot and all the surrounding ecosystem has to keep the pace.
