GE and Liberty Mutual Partner in Telematics Offering

According to Thomas M. Troy, COO of Liberty Mutual Agency Markets’ Regional Companies Group, the Onboard Advisor “is the first GPS-based product to harness multiple technologies to yield direct, measurable savings as well as significant insurance discounts”.

Mike Slattery, the architect of Onboard Advisor, Telematics Weekly learned this product was first designed for Safeco Insurance’s “Teensurance” program to monitor teenage driving habits. Prior to release, Safeco received requests for a similar commercial fleets device. After Liberty Mutual’s acquisition of Safeco for $6.2 billion, this project received continued internal support.

GE Commercial Financial division that can no longer compete in this economy, GE is retooling to creating a suite of telematics products and services that take advantage of the analytic data their Commercial Financial division has accumulated. Although it is strange to think of GE as a start-up company, in this case they really are. With borrowed hardware from Hughes Telematics and a 2-week training program GE has committed themselves to selling 90,000 units before year’s end and assumed substantial liability for this particular offering.

Liberty Mutual demanded a low monthly premium for the Onboard Advisor product which would appeal to their customers. Hardware, warranty, integration, servicing, sales assistance and carrier costs are the responsibility of GE, not Liberty Mutual. Although US Bank is providing the gas card, it is obvious that GE’s ability to meet these commitments will ultimately determine their success in this endeavor.

Verizon and Allstate vie for OnStar.

Allstate to buy OnStar?

Email from PT:

Idea for OnStar developed when mobile phones were the size of a brief case and we paid $100/month for a few minutes of analog airtime. OnStar’s revenue model was always based on getting a slice of your mobile bill. The model fell apart when technology drove those bills from $100/mo to $30/mo and cell phones became a personal accessory not a vehicle accessory.

Problem for most potential purchasers would be the age of GM’s technology. OnStar resisted the move to CDMA/1X until the FCC pulled the plug on AMPS. It still doesn’t have the ability to sync or use a customers’ cellphone using a standard like Bluetooth, never simplified its expensive human call center with in-cab or server side speech recognition technologies, and never could move its applications beyond ‘Safety and Security’ to products folks would pay a monthly subscription for.

Personally, when OnStar goes the way of Edsel, MAP, and Saturn, it will reconfirm my belief that space aliens placed psychedelics in the Auburn Hills water supply sometime back in the 1980s.
