Tesla Offers Real-Time Data Car Insurance To Illinois Drivers

Tesla has now expanded the availability of its real-time data car insurance product to car owners in Illinois.

It’s now the third state to get Tesla Insurance and the second one with the more recent product based on real-time data from the drivers.

Tesla had already introduced its own insurance product in California, but it didn’t utilize real-time driving data and its ‘safety score,’ which had been its original goal.

Before expanding its insurance product to other markets, the company wanted to build up its safety score system, which utilizes driving data collected in real-time from Tesla vehicles to determine if you are a ‘good driver’ based on things like the number of ‘Forward Collision Warnings’ you get, the amount of hard braking you do, aggressive turning, unsafe following distance, and if you get forced Autopilot disengagements.
