General Insurance Article - ByMiles to gain access to Ford connected car data

 This will give Ford owners who've cut out their daily commute, or that are commuting less since the pandemic, the opportunity to make use of data directly from their vehicles to power a pay-per-drive approach, with the potential to make savings on their car insurance.
 
 • Ford is supporting a pay-as-you-drive approach to car insurance that could especially benefit drivers who have bid farewell to – or at least reduced – their daily commute
 • By Miles is the first insurance provider announced in the U.K. to use Ford’s connected vehicle data to help customers reduce the cost of their car insurance
 • The product, which will launch later this year, requires no additional hardware, and could save customers hundreds of pounds

 Launching towards the end of 2021, Ford drivers that own newer models with FordPass Connect modem won't need any additional devices, hardware or software added to their car to start paying by the mile, they simply purchase a By Miles policy and then give their car permission at the tap of a button to share the miles from their car's mileometer with By Miles.

 Having launched the world's first connected car insurance policy back in 2019, which supported Teslas first, this one of many manufacturer partnerships By Miles will be announcing in the coming months.
