ingenie’s brand is now firmly established and this has beenachieved entirely by digital marketing.

Evolution of telematics insuranceingenie is at the forefront of one of the most disruptive and dramatic changesthemotorinsuranceindustryhasseenforyears.Followingtheevolution of the car insurance market through the emergence of direct writers and price comparison sites, many experts see telematics-based insuranceasthenextmajordevelopment.

Even though there are relatively few black box products on the market today,researchfromtheBritishInsuranceBrokers’Association(BIBA)inJuly2012showedthatblackboxmotorinsurancesalesincreasedfive-fold from 2010 to 2012, and are set to rise to around 500,000 policies a yearby2014. BIBAalsosaysthattheblackboxtechnologycanoffersavingsonmotorinsurance of around 25 to 30 percent and that young drivers can save upto£1,000annually.

ingenie’s timingThe first telematic pilots in 2005/6, proved unsuccessful because ofdifficultiesinexecution,highhardwarecostsandexpensive,slowdatanetworks.

Advances in technology and lower costs encouraged insurers to revisit telematics in 2009/10. Early movers focused on products for youngdriversusingmileagerestrictionsorlatenightcurfewmodels.

These developments have followed a cycle commonly seen in new technologies: first, a period of inflated expectations, followed by aperiodofconsolidationbeforegainingmomentum.Asthemodelbelowshows,ingenie’slaunchtimingwasperfect.

The telematics hype cycle

Page 8: Car insurance for young drivers · Business summary • Groundbreaking insurance brand for 17 to 25 year-olds • Uses a black box to provide car insurance based on individual driver

Our research suggested that mileage constraints and curfews were not attractive tomanyyoungdriverswhilstalsonot significantly reducingcrashesorpremiums. ingenie launched a new telematics business model, measuring driver behaviour and incentivising improvement - setting a new trend for the industry.

Using telematics-based insurance to offer more competitive prices to 17-25yearolddrivers,wealsoaim tomake themsaferon the road.Unlike other products, ingenie does not restrict when and where they drive.

Product research and developmentFocus groupsFrom the beginning, ingenie’s success was based on understanding what young drivers and their parents wanted from a car insurance brand. The first step was to carry out extensive research includinginterviews with teenagers, 20-somethings and their parents and the setting up of an independent advisory board made up of young drivers tohelptestideasandinnovations. Itbecameclearthatcarinsurancefor17-25yearsoldswasconsideredexpensive and inequitable. Young people wanted to be treated asindividuals rather than a collective high-risk group. Therewas also afeeling that insurers were not on the side of young drivers and did not wanttheirbusiness. Given the disillusionment, there was room for a brand to bridge the gap betweentheinsuranceindustryandyoungdrivers. Although they wanted a brand that focused on them, young people did not want car insurance that tried to be cool – that risked looking like‘daddancing’.Theywereopentobeingreachedviasocialmedia.Youngpeoplealso respondedwell to the ideaofcar insurance thatassessed them on their individual performance: they were willing to take responsibility for their own driving behaviours if that meant that theirinsurancewouldgetcheaperastheirdrivinggotbetter.

Understanding why young drivers crashIt’snosecretthatyoungdriversaremorelikelytobeinvolvedinacrashthanolderones.Theyaregrosslyover-representedinofficialaccidentfigures –withone in fivehavinganaccident in thefirst sixmonthsofdriving. This has led to increasingly highpremiumswithmany insurersrefusingtocoveranyoneunder25.

Step two of the research was to fully understand the science behind why young drivers have more crashes than any other risk group on the road. ingenie undertook research in association with world-leadingdriverpsychologistsatCranfieldUniversity,investigatingthetrendsandpatternsthatleadtocrashes.

The results of this research helped ingenie to see that young drivers don’t just have more crashes because of inexperience, but that their attitudetotheroadalsoplaysaverysignificantrole.Infact,itisdriverbehaviour and not technical ability which is the cause of 19 out of 20 crashesinvolvingayoungdriver.

Attitudes to driving were found to be worse in boys (who are generally more competitive and confident on the road) than girls (who aregenerallymorecautiousandtakegreatercare.)Bothofthesefindingswere simply summarised: inexperience + wrong attitude = a crash

Changing driver behaviour While we cannot give young drivers the benefit of experience, wecanchangetheirattitudestowardsdriving.However, theareaofthebrain that deals with danger analysis and risk assessment does not fully developuntiltheageof25.It’spartofwhyyoungpeopletakerisks. Itispossibletoacceleratethislearningcurve–bygettingyoungpeoplethinking about driving from an early age, and improving their hazard perceptionandattitudetorisk.Ineffect,trainingyoungdriverstothinkinamorematurewayaboutdriving. With this inmind, ingenie sponsors a2om, a not-for-profitCommunityInterest Company (CiC) which champions road safety awareness inschoolsacrosstheUK,andtheir freeDrive iQprogramme.a2omandingenie are working together to help shape safe driving attitudes amongst young people – beginning years before they pass their test, andcontinuingtosupportthemthroughtheirlifeontheroad.

Capturing driving dataThe research also showed that if young drivers were going to crash, it waslikelytohappenwithinafewmonthsofpassingtheirtest.Sostepthree was to create technology that was able to capture an accurate pictureofdrivingtrendsandbehaviourasquicklyaspossible.ingenierefers to this as “building an accurate picture of a customer’s driving DNA, assessing their attitude to risk and hazard perception based on speed,smoothnessandanticipation.” To obtain the data necessary to define the customer’s driving DNA,ingenie needed a more advanced telematics system than had previouslybeendeveloped.ingenie’sblackboxcapturesdrivingdata(acceleration, speed, braking, cornering and location) at a rate of 10Hz –or ten timesper second. This increases to 25Hz four secondseitherside of an excessive G-force event (in most cases a crash) to help with claimsanalysisandinvestigation.

Analysing driving data The fourth step is to analyse the data as effectively and quickly as possible.DatapacketsfromtheblackboxaresentnearrealtimebacktoingenieviatheEEmobilephonenetwork.Thedataisthenrunthroughhundreds of propriety algorithms created by ingenie with support from independent specialists at Cranfield University. As a result, after only100 miles of driving, ingenie has a very accurate picture of the driver’s attitudetotheroad.

Ageas and RSA, two of Britain’s largest insurers, signed up to partner with ingenie. The support of these two major players demonstratedboth confidence and interest in ingenie’s innovative approaches toresearch,productdevelopmentandmarketing.

Mark Cliff, CEO Ageas Retail & Distribution& Chairman of ABI Telematics Working Group

Cross-sector partnershipsAs well as reaching out directly to young drivers, ingenie works to promote itsbrandandproductthroughcarefullyselectedpartnerships.ingenieispleased to have already joined forces with two major companies who eachhaveastrongpresenceintheyoungdrivermarket.

Vauxhall Vauxhall, one of the most established and biggest-selling brands in British motoring, was quick to spot the potential of ingenie’s telematics insuranceforitsyoungercustomers.ingeniehadalsonoticedapotentialsynergy, since 20 percent of the cars it was insuring were Vauxhall Corsas.

Financial incentives for good drivingIt is well known that instant gratification tends to outweigh longer-term consequences in our thinking. To help sustain the customer’sengagement, ingenieoffers regularand frequentfinancial incentivesfor gooddriving. Every threemonths, premiumsare reviewedbasedondrivingperformance. Rather thanwaitinga year until renewal toget a discount, ingenie customers performing well receive a quarterly discount inaddition to the traditionalnoclaimsdiscountat renewal.ingeniewereoneofthefirstinsurersevertoofferquarterlyadjustments. To discourage dangerous or reckless driving, ingenie reserves the right to increase premiums for customers who have ignored warning messages and repeatedly received poor driving scores (this potential penalty is madeveryclearwhentheytakeoutthepolicy.) To date, 70 percent of ingenie customers have received a quarterly discountforgooddriving.

Gender RulingFrom the 21 December 2012, a new ruling from the European Union means men and women must be treated equally when it comes to car insurance.Thisseemsreasonableonthefaceofitbuttherealityisthatmen generally have more crashes than women – and nowhere is the differencemorestarkthanwithyoungdrivers. Inthepast,youngwomenasagrouphavetraditionallyhadcheaperpremiums due to their better track record on the road but, as a result of the new legislation, teenage female drivers who have just passed their testhaveseentheirpremiumsincreasebyabout40percent. Thishasgiveningenieanotheropportunitytohelp.Fromtheoutsetblackbox insurance is up to 30 percent cheaper than traditional insurance for 17-25 year olds, so young female drivers can potentially make instant savings. Butmore importantly,everyone insuredby ingenie is judgedon individualmerit.Asa result, ifa female isdrivingmoresafely thanhermalecounterparts,shewillseethebenefitreflectedinherquarterlydiscount.
