This episode of the Insurance Telematics Podcast was originally recorded in Italian — and translated using AI. 🇮🇹😅 Yes, the voiceover might sound a little funny, but the insights are worth it.
We’re joined by a remarkable guest: Fabio Sbianchi, founder of Octo Telematics and one of the most influential figures in the history of insurance telematics.
Together with Harald Trautsch, CEO & Founder of Dolphin Technologies, Fabio reflects on more than 20 years of industry evolution — from the first OBU installations to smartphone-based telematics, real-time data, and the challenges of a more connected, tech-driven risk landscape.
🎯 In this episode:
• The early years of insurance telematics in Italy
• The shift from OBUs to app-based solutions
• How smartphone data enables new models of engagement and prevention
• Why Fabio launched Wallife to protect humans from emerging tech risks
• A call for mindset change: from vehicles to people, from static risk to dynamic data
