This report expands on previous IRC research on consumer attitudes and opinions with respect to personal auto insurance telematics and usage-based insurance (UBI). The report finds that more U.S. drivers are open to opting into UBI programs to save on their auto insurance premiums. Yet, more widespread acceptance of telematics programs and UBI remains limited for various reasons, including privacy concerns. Findings also confirm that Telematics programs provide the opportunity for safe drivers to lower their insurance costs and can improve overall road safety.
