Mitsubishi launching app for usage-based car insurance discounts
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/mitsubishi-car-insurance-app/
Mitsubishi is the latest automaker to experiment with ways for owners of its cars to receive a discount on their insurance policies. So far only one insurance company is on board, but Mitsubishi hopes that will grow.
The insurance-tracking system works with a new version of Mitsubishi's smartphone telematics app called Road Assist+. It keeps track of how, when and where owners drive their cars, using technology from LexisNexis Risk Solutions. If owners allow it, the data can then be transmitted to the Mitsubishi owner's insurance company for a potential discount. State Auto Insurance Companies is the first and only insurer signed up with the plan.
