Yep. I learnt recently that an insurance company who offers insurance policies based on a data logging app (telematics) have so much data about their policy holders, that they don't know what to do with it and don't know where to start to make it work for them other than ensuring that their policy holders are keeping within the terms of their policy!

Although 'big data' has been around for a while, we are starting to enter a period where this data is so fine tuned, and so wide and often, that there could simply be too much of it to analyse and get anything meaningful from it.... at least at the moment!

Who should have access to all the data new cars generate ? It is worth thinking about considering for example the future with Pro-Pilot - Dave :roll:

Manufacturers want to have control of it all, but independent repair shops, fleet operators, insurance companies and anyone else who could benefit from this data, argue that this would be blatantly anti-competitive. Because it could mean that your car servicing costs become more expensive and you may have to pay more for other services that rely on such data, from independent repair centres to "pay-as-you-drive" insurance companies.

Modern cars are effectively computers on wheels, full of sensors measuring everything from the wear and tear on your brake pads to your fuel efficiency. They are capable of communicating wirelessly with manufacturers, traffic management systems and other vehicles in real time. So your car's manufacturer probably knows where you've been, how fast you drove, and how soon you're likely to need a service and it wants to turn this knowledge in to money.
