Where in the world are you most likely to find a connected car? Los Angeles? London? Rome?

According to analysts Bain & Co, it is actually Italy that leads the market in deployment of motor telematics for connected car insurance applications globally. Italy has been branded a pioneer as one of the first countries to use telematics concretely – predominantly through black boxes and insurance, but also in other verticals such as healthcare.

Ahead of the USA, the Italian market is motoring into growth phase while countries like France and Germany are forecast to retain a more cautious position, largely due to privacy concerns.
