True Mileage Founder and CEO Ryan Morrison to participate on keynote panel and host workshop at North America’s largest Telematics event

DALLAS, TEXAS, USA, July 8, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- True Mileage, a Dallas-based near field communication (NFC) tech start up, announced today its participation in the Insurance Telematics USA 2014 in Chicago, September 3-4, 2014. Founder and CEO Ryan Morrison is slated to participate on a keynote panel discussing how disruptive technology is affecting the usage-based insurance (UBI) industry. In addition, True Mileage will be hosting a workshop titled “Cost: The Biggest Barrier to UBI Adoption?” which cover the ongoing debate of insurer cost versus data quality.

According to Telematics Update, the producer of Insurance Telematics USA 2014, the insurance telematics industry is undergoing a time of disrupters entering the space. “Major software companies such as LexisNexis and Google are moving in on the action, undergoing major internal changes to establish themselves as major players in the field. Moreover, other powerful industries are showing interest in the UBI industry. A recent trend of automakers forming relationships across the UBI industry promises to be a major game-changer in this rapidly expanding market,” said Harriet Molyneaux, Project Director for Telematics Update.

True Mileage produces vehicle devices that generate a summary of mileage, mileage by time of day, hard brakes, error codes, and other useful driving information. True Mileage’s technology eliminates the need to transfer speed data and by ensuring location is not tracked the company expects higher adoption rates than the less privacy sensitive alternatives in the market today. The company helps insurers attract and retain profitable business through their complete UBI solution—including vehicle devices, data transfer and analytics—while respecting drivers’ privacy.

True Mileage began piloting its cost efficient and privacy-based approach to UBI, with three of the top 10 U.S. insurers slated to participate in the program, with plans to follow up with larger pilots and implementations. More information about the True Mileage UBI solution and information about joining the pilot program can be found at www.truemileage.com/videos.

“We are proud to be a part of this event,” said True Mileage CEO Ryan Morrison. “The UBI industry is changing and expanding rapidly, with wide-ranging effects for both insurers and drivers. As a player in the technology disruption of the industry, we know the largest issue today is cost and we are focused on bringing a novel approach that is significantly more efficient. We also understand the need for privacy, which is also critical to increase driver adoption of usage-based insurance.”

True Mileage will also be exhibiting at the conference and will be available to meet with conference participants in Booth #1 in the exhibit hall. For the complete Insurance Telematics USA 2014 agenda and speaker line-up, visit: www.telematicsupdate.com/insurance-telematics/ .
