Legislature OKs Limits on ‘Black Box’ Data
From Times Wire Reports
Insurance companies would be barred from using data from vehicles’ “black boxes” to set drivers’ rates under legislation that won final approval in the Legislature.
The bill now goes to Republican Gov. John Hoeven, who is expected to sign it.
Insurance industry groups said they believed that North Dakota was the first state to bar the use of the black box information to set insurance rates.
The legislation is aimed at computer chips that record a car’s speed, braking and steering efficiency.
