Abstract

The Internet of Things (“IoT”) is one of the major Internet-driven technological evolutions of our times. It is a network of devices, sensors, appliances, people connected to the Internet and to each other. IoT solutions are already being extensively used in numerous consumer, commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications, opening up new product and service opportunities across economy sectors, while at the same time creating new regulatory and business challenges. In this context, IoT has entered into the insurance industry as a significant disruption. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the ways in which IoT applications are affecting the insurance value chain and the insurer–customer relationship, as well as some thoughts on the possible interplay between IoT solutions and the applicable insurance law provisions (Sect. 2). Particular reference is made to IoT implications on the notion of the insurance risk, which is crucial and fundamental to the industry (Sect. 3), as well as to its effects on the civil liability model, where the allocation of liability and the ensuing obligations of the insurer shall have to be considered (Sect. 4).

The authors thank Lydia Polyzou for her valuable contribution to this chapter.

    Insurtech as a section of Fintech refers to the use of technology innovations designed to squeeze out savings and efficiency from the current insurance industry model. The belief driving InsurTech companies is that the insurance industry is ripe for innovation and disruption. InsurTech is exploring avenues that large insurance firms have less incentive to exploit, such as offering ultra-customised policies, social insurance, and using new streams of data from internet-enabled devices to dynamically price premiums according to observed behaviour. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/insurtech.asp#ixzz5SavxNHkW.

    Offering such product-service bundles would also affect other stages in the insurance value chain, as the bundles would be used as a means to reduce the likelihood for the insured risk to occur and lower the overall risk for policyholders and insurers – see in this relevance Isabel Harner, Director of Marketing @ IoT for All, Leverage, How will IoT transform the insurance industry?, January 22, 2018, available at: https://medium.com/iotforall/how-will-iot-transform-the-insurance-industry-609f89a12bf1.

    One of the many examples in motor vehicle insurance industry is the TrueMotion company, which provides smartphone telematics to insurers, for them to identify the best drivers and, thus, price them more profitably. Smartphone applications such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS and other sensors, may be used by insurers to provide insight on driving habits and result in more accurate pricing methods.

    Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, Articles 34–36. To be noted, that the risk margin for the entire portfolio of the insurance undertaking shall be calculated on the assumption that it is taken over by another insurer as set in Article 38.

  57. 57.

    The insurer’s calculation and monitoring of risk and capital must be reflected in its so-called “Own Risk and Solvency Assessment” (ORSA), which is a self-assessment exercise lying at the heart of the Solvency II approach. This approach as a framework has also been incorporated into the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) list of Insurance Core Principles, which in practice shows a global endorsement of the ORSA method. In few words, ORSA is an internal assessment of the risks associated with an insurer’s strategic business plan that determines whether it has the capital resources to support these risks. The board and senior management are required to take responsibility for ORSA, which must encompass all reasonably foreseeable and relevant material risks. It is very much like an enterprise risk management framework because an ORSA must be forward-looking and must assess risk and capital resources. It is expected by certain analysts that most major jurisdictions will have an ORSA-like approach implemented by the end of the decade, https://risk.thomsonreuters.com/en/risk-solutions/solvency-ii.html#request-details.

    Current research on software reliability does not provide sufficiently apt tools to quantitatively assess the risk posed by a piece of life-critical software such as a medical device. For example, black-box software reliability models are too general and make too many assumptions to be applied on confidently to assess the risk of life-critical software, see Jeffrey M.

    To be noted in this regard, that the preparedness of the producer to install such measures not only depends on cost, but is also commensurate to the producer’s own alertness and endorsement of the potential risks, the relevant legal and social environment, its mentality, and the degree to which it shall be faced with sanctions if it fails to take the measures. So is also the purchase of insurance. This is especially the case with respect to startup producers of innovative products or services, and has the consequence that the risk is transferred to third parties, i.e. their customers.

    See as an example for such a liability structure the EU Directive on Defective Products Liability - Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products, as modified by Directive 1999/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 May 1999.

  77. 77.

    Variations of the knock-for-knock concept apply in several jurisdictions. The Greek private pool of motor third party liability claims management is an example, where the pool works as a facilitator for the rapid settlement of disputes in favour of the customer: the customer is indemnified by its insurer, and then the insurers settle the claims among them in the pool. The difference to the knock-for-knock model described above is that there is still recourse and subrogation of the indemnifying insurer against the liable party and, principally, its insurer. In this sense, the downsides of knock-for-knock agreements described in this section are eliminated.

  78. 78.

    See for example LeRoy Lambert, Knock-for-knock contracts are enforceable in the US, Standard Bulletin October 2011, p. 10, where mention is made to the ‘Anti-indemnity’ statutes passed by the states of Texas and Louisiana, the home of much of the offshore oil exploration industry in the US, following the Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico, as a consequence of attempts by major oil companies to contractually require local providers of supplies and services in the oil industry to assume all liabilities, even if caused by the fault of the oil company. In effect, the local suppliers would indemnify the oil company even if the oil company’s fault caused the damage.
