California woman dropped by insurer over drone images
Originally Published 6 days ago — by Yahoo Finance
A California woman was denied renewal of her home insurance after her insurer, CSAA, used drone imagery to assess hazards around her property, raising privacy concerns. The insurer claims to use proprietary aerial imagery, not drones, but the case highlights the growing use of drone technology in insurance assessments, which is legal in California and can improve efficiency and accuracy. Non-renewal differs from cancellation and is a business decision by insurers.
