QUOTES

Jonathan: "The problems that the field of telematics are trying to solve are effectively related to two things: one is related to managing a group of vehicles, so this could be fleet utilization and maintenance and so on, and the second one is safety. Our focus is exclusively on safety."

Jonathan: "Our technology allows Credit Karma users to opt-in and receive very special offers from Progressive by virtue of proving, after a few days of driving, that they're safe drivers. So technology can sit in the background and analyze that driving behavior. What I just described to you is absolutely unique."
