Conference explores how telematics, analytics are changing insurance

Today, the estimated incurred cost for insurance fraud is a massive R4-billion a year. These expenses are due to many factors ranging from false and inflated claims to exaggerated injuries and illness. Fortunately, telematics represents a fundamental change in auto insurance that may curb the detrimental loss the industry incurs. Given enough time, it is predicted that telematics will surpass traditional methods of risk assessment and profoundly transform the way risk is underwritten.
