The most comprehensive research available on naturalistic distracted driving behaviors at scale.
Key Finding: In 2024 distracted driving fell by 8.6% in 2024—the largest decline in five years. CMT estimates this reduction helped prevent 105,000 crashes, 59,000 injuries, 480 fatalities, and nearly $4.2 billion in economic damages.

Conducted in collaboration with Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, this study breaks ground in driving efficiency research.
Key Finding: Safe drivers are over 5% more fuel-efficient than high-risk drivers. This could save SUV owners over $190 annually on fuel.

The study offers an in-depth look at the crucial role user engagement in telematics programs plays in reducing road risk.
Key Findings: Highly engaged, high-risk drivers improved distracted driving by 20%, hard braking by 9%, and speeding by 27%. Improved performance among the riskiest drivers would result in a 5.5% reduction in bodily injury claims.

The report offers European insurers a toolkit to build value propositions that will drive sustainable insurance. It examines consumer demand, industry strategies, and sustainability’s role in customer engagement.
Key Finding: 78% of European drivers are concerned about climate change, and over 20% want to take action but don’t know how. Of those unsure, 77% would download an insurance app that helps them reduce their carbon footprint.

A first-of-its-kind analysis into how driving behavior changes in different vehicles, proving that electric, hybrid, and traditional vehicles have unique risk factors.
Key Finding: Drivers of compact EVs had 3x higher acceleration risk than ICE vehicle drivers, and Tesla drivers had 4.5x more acceleration risk.
