Friday, January 6th, 2017 — Insurers in the U.S. and abroad are planning up to double-digit percentage discounts tied to the existence of automatic braking on a vehicle, according to a news release and media reports. Aviva Canada announced late last month it would cut premiums 15 percent for drivers with autobraking — the latest sign that the technology will indeed have a significant impact on collision frequency. The insurer wrote Nov. 28 that it was Canada’s first to offer such a discount for the advanced driver’s assistance system, which will be standard for virtually all U.S. vehicles by the 2022 model year.
