Google has become the single stop for most of us. From weather to websites and sports scores to sales, Google is undoubtedly the heaviest hitter on the web. But Google has other interests, too. Phones and driverless cars, yes, but now Google is also working on its own car insurance offerings and your Phillipsburg Area Honda dealer wants to give you the scoop. The What The company is called Google Compare Auto Insurance Services and it’s managed to get licenses to sell or broker insurance in 26 states on behalf of six different insurance companies. What it will mean is you will be able to go to Google, search for insurance rates depending on your information, and then click to buy. The idea is that Google will be able to present you with as many as six different rates side by side for you to compare, hence the name. The Why Google knows that to survive as a business you need to grow, change, and adapt. Car insurance is rapidly moving online. Companies like Geico and Esurance have made it almost unreasonable to call someone or visit an actual store front. More and more, Google is looking to get into the games people search for the most. A lot of people use Google to search for a car insurance company, so it would be even better if they just kept clicking with Google itself. The Result It’s pretty unlikely that Google will ever offer to actually insure anything. The risk is too high for their other businesses, but it’s likely that before long you’ll be able to buy all manner of things through your search engine.

In recent years, a great deal has changed in terms of automotive safety. Each day seems to bring new advancements in radar and computer technology to make cars smarter and safer. So how does this affect the more “concrete”? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has some changes in store and your Flemington Area Honda dealer tells you all about them. Distracted Driving The first phase of distracted driving is in effect almost everywhere. This is where the texting while driving laws came from as well as the hands-free device mandates. What’s coming in phase two will affect personal consumer electronics and users. It will mean requiring more capacity for hands-free and safer use. Crash Avoidance Several studies are finding that crash avoidance technology like automatic stopping saves real lives. While it will take a long time for regulations to be fully incorporated, the NHTSA has already hinted that it will make automatic or “driverless” technologies mandatory in newer models. This will primarily focus on warnings for ordinary hazards like blind spots and backing up, but will also be looking at vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology that allows cars to recognize one another over a larger infrastructure. Enforcement Because of the sharp increase in recalls in the last few years, the NHTSA is likely to step up its enforcement dramatically. The agency will be taking harder looks at companies and policies alike. They’ll also be auditing the effectiveness of early detection methods at manufacturers and, most likely, increasing the number of penalties as well as their gravity.
