Road safety: UAE motor insurers venture into technology

The Insurance Authority (IA) is introducing a system of telematics technology on drivers' vehicles in the United Arab Emirates. Motor insurers are offering a discount of up to 10% of premiums to drivers who install telematics in their vehicles.

The technology, which appeared in the early 2000s, enables insurers to monitor and evaluate the drivers' behavior.

The authority's objective is to limit accidents and the number of fatalities on the Federation's roads.
