Premiums will also take into consideration the broader risk factors that include driving experience. How AIG aims to have a deeper understanding on how locals drive is by introducing an intelligent mobile app in 2019 that uses telematics to engage with Malaysians and inculcate safer driving habits via gamification. In fact, road safety should be the number one concern as the Ministry of Transport reported 533,875 road accident cases nationwide and over 6,700 fatalities in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/News\/AIG%20aims%20for%20road%20safety\/AIG100_Media-Briefing_Present-%26-Future-State-of-Risk-%28PDF%29-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTechnology has allowed us to locate and manage real-time risks as we improve road safety standards for drivers and pedestrians alike. In line with our #AIGJayaYou promise, we will leverage data-driven insights from our mobile app, along with our claims experience, to cultivate better driving behaviours nationwide. This effort is also in line with the liberalisation of motor insurance where premiums are now heavily influenced by driver risk profiles,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\">Cyber-Protection<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/carsomemy.s3.amazonaws.com\/News\/AIG%20aims%20for%20road%20safety\/AIG100_Media-Briefing_Present-%26-Future-State-of-Risk-%28PDF%29-29.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>AIG is also the leading cyber insurer in Malaysia, and anticipates that the local demand for cyber-protection against data breaches, identity theft and malware will rise.
