Focuses on Inextricable Ties of Technology, Economy, People

CHICAGO, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- According to CCC Information Services Inc.'s Lead Analyst, Susanna Gotsch, "The last decade has seen dramatic change in the automotive collision repair and insurance industries. The recession that threw global economic growth in dramatic reverse at the close of the decade put many of the trends impacting the industry over the last ten years into overdrive." This is reviewed in-depth in The Convergence of People, Economy and Technology, the appropriately named title for the 2010 edition of CCC Crash Course.

"The recession has further impacted miles driven, and more consumers are opting to own and/or insure fewer vehicles," added Gotsch. "Despite the potential for rising employment numbers to increase miles driven, the fact that claim frequency was declining early in the last decade while miles driven were still increasing, suggests the industry will not see much if any increase in claim frequency in the coming decade."
