Dropping insurance policies like it's hot Nichole Brink, an insurance industry worker, said that her former employer Farmers Insurance used aerial photos to drop claims for almost any reason, from moss on the side of houses to tree branches seemingly hanging above roofs. Perhaps even more concerning was that some photos were over two years old, leading Farmers to drop policies based on out of date info. Even in up-to-date photos, improper analysis (done by humans or AI) could lead to policies being dropped. In one case, Farmers mistook shadows for tree limbs, it's reported. https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/08/us_insurers_drones/?td=rt-3a
