Dear Ladies and Gentleman,
The most important news during this month has been the Californian government’s announcement of supporting the system PAYD, whenever it doesn’t incur in the risk of processing information that could be used to interfere in the private life of the citizens. It has been written in a draft regulation, yet still to be negotiated in detail.
Steve Poizner, Insurance Commissioner in California, exposed the motivations of this support that basically were sustained in a magnificent study of the Brooking Institution.
The reference of California is very important. With less than 40 million inhabitants, its economy could allow it to belong to the group of the 8 more industrialized countries of the world and it is an example as for technological level and quality of life.
Maybe it is the moment to remember that Progressive continues ahead with its project and that it is having a good welcome, although in many North American states it is necessary to adapt the legislation so that a PAYD insurance is possible.
We also have Real Insurance in Australia that has just presented an insurance of the type PAYD, we suppose that learning of the experience of Hollard in South Africa.
On the other hand we can find the desperation of the promoters of this type of projects in Canada. They considered that there were given the ideal circumstances to develop this project and little by little they are realizing about how it seems to be lost the possibility to play a significant role in the same one definitively.
It seems really that there is a understanding in that, not only the problem of the climatic change that already of for itself it should be enough, but rather the economic evolution will also impose unavoidably an evolution toward systems of the type PAYD. Without a doubt this it is the reason so that the English government continues maintaining his tests to apply a Road Tax, conceptually derived of the PAYD of Norwich.
After an organizational parenthesis, we have the opportunity to know the activities of Siemens and the recently created Cinterion again. Both companies should be dedicated to play an important paper in the conception of projects PAYD.
As always, I have upgraded my “Pay As You Drive Directory ” and my News Bulletin.
Yours sincerelly
