These schemes require drivers to install a GPS-enabled black box in their vehicle or use a mobile app that continuously monitors, transmits, and analyzes real-time driving data, including speed, braking force, cornering acceleration, and exact location coordinates at any time of day.

Discuss the:

  • benefits to both drivers and insurance providers of collecting and analyzing this telematics data
  • privacy issues raised by the continuous tracking of individuals' precise movements and habits
  • legal issues and responsibilities that insurance companies must address under current data protection legislation (such as the Data Protection Act 2018 / GDPR)
