A transformative solution for one of the costliest aspects of auto insurance underwriting

Inadequate pricing for violations and accidents accounts for $4.1 billion in annual premium leakage for personal auto insurers.¹ With risky driving behaviors increasing,² motor vehicle reports (MVRs) are a critical but costly data source.
