Rather than call your insurer to make a claim, the vehicle communicates directly with your insurer's claims department, the garage and your digital personal assistant to validate the claim and arrange a convenient time for th
The Association of British Insurers’ announcement that motor insurance premiums hit their highest recorded levels at the end of last year is another reminder that change is long overdue in the personal motor market.
