Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Bosch and Direct Line have teamed up for a research project aiming to streamline the data collected from autonomous vehicles. The companies are hoping an organised data collection method will help to drive down insurance premiums when the usage of autonomous cars proliferates. But Move UK, a London-based project supported by £3.4 million of government funding, is investigating ways to efficiently use data to combat insurance hikes. In order to collect data, JLR has developed its own self-driving car called “Drive” which is being tested on public roads in Germany. Focusing on these occurrences should allow data to be processed more easily, helping to determine insurance premium pricing.
