PCI’s Passmore Speaks at Conference Exploring How the Connected Car Changes the Face of Mobility
CHICAGO – The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America’s (PCI) Robert Passmore, assistant vice president, personal lines policy, will be part of a panel debate at The Insurance Telematics USA 2015 Conference, September 2-3, in Chicago discussing the insurance ramifications of the ways the connected car is changing how people travel from points A to B.
The connected car has enabled new mobility services to flourish such as e-hailing (e.g. UBER and Lyft), car sharing (e.g. DriveNow and CAR2GO) and connected carpooling (e.g. Carma). These emerging means of travel present opportunities for insurance companies to move away from traditional models of calculating risk and create new business models and partnerships within the connected car ecosystem. At Insurance Telematics USA 2015, the leading players in the connected car ecosystem will gather to discuss connected car mobility with other technological advances that are driving change in the auto insurance industry.
“This is a crucial period of change for insurers,” said Andrew Pym, the head of insurance research with TU-Automotive. “The 10 largest US insurance companies will be at Insurance Telematics USA. This isn’t a coincidence. They will be looking to come to grips with the latest offerings in terms of business models, telematics and partnerships that can keep them at the forefront of this digital transition. It’s hugely important that we have participants like PCI’s Robert Passmore speaking at the event as he is able to offer the insights and spur discussion that will further the development of the industry.”
PCI will be joined by other leading companies such as The Hartford, General Motors, Progressive, Farmers Insurance, American Family Insurance, MAPFRE, Volkswagen, Ford, Acord, USDOT, and many more.
