Meet Discovery Insure's Advanced Driving Instructor

Imagine having your own dedicated driving coach in the car with you every time you get behind the wheel. Discovery Insure's new AI-powered Advanced Driving Instructor is all this and more.

Now available to Discovery Insure clients on the Discovery Insure app, Advanced Driving Instructor analyses your unique 'driving signature' - based on your individual driving data and risk profile. Using this data, Advanced Driving Instructor delivers hyper‑personalised feedback that helps you to easily improve your driving habits, reduce your accident risk, up your safety on the road, and earn more rewards through the Vitality Drive programme.

How Advanced Driving Instructor guides you towards better and safer driving

Using Discovery Insure's advanced algorithms and telematics network, Advanced Driving Instructor interprets what makes your driving one-of-a-kind: your habits, tendencies, hotspots, and risk points, then determines the driving behaviours you need to improve on to maximise your safety on the road (and your Vitality Drive points).

Advanced Driving Instructor uses behavioural nudges, tips, and coaching to deliver real‑time, gamified guidance built entirely around you, including:

• Tailored driving tips: Personalised driving guidance based on your driving patterns and the goals Advanced Driving Instructor has set for you.
• Location alerts: When approaching a specific section of road where you consistently engage in risky behaviours, such as harsh braking or sharp cornering, Advanced Driving Instructor provides a gentle audio alert - a location-specific warning - that allows you to quickly correct yourself. You can opt out of these, but they help reinforce safer habits in the moment
• Next best action goals: In‑app reminders help you engage more with Vitality Drive, like reminders to install your Vitality Drive Sensor or swiping your Vitality Drive Card at bp and Shell to earn fuel rewards.

What else is new?

In addition to your weekly Vitality Drive ring, you'll have a new monthly Personal Driving ring to close by meeting your personalised behaviour and location-based goals.
