## Transcript

Up to this point insurance has been a reactive model protecting you and your possessions after an incident. That's all about to change with presurance form esurance. A state of the art tool that will alert you before your next fender bender so you can avoid it. Finally, people will stop wondering and start knowing. Up to 7 days in advance. [ MUSIC ] You have a Presurance alert. Your next fender bender will occur in six days, five hours, and 12 minutes. Presurance is more than just an algorithm. By analyzing U. S. driving data and statistics, we created a futuristic framework that kick started the development process.

The end result. Called, is a precognitive predictive model based on factors like cyclones or the migration patterns of flightless birds. Just means just something nice. Your next fender bender will occur in four hours and one minute. I'm sorry. I gotta take. Take off, I just got a presurance alert. You'll have the power to know exactly when you'll get tapped by that delivery truck or bumped by a soccer mom's minivan. You'll even have the option to add it to your mobile calendar with just a tap, so you can avoid it. Honey, do you think you could pick up the kids from school today? Yeah, I got a, I got a presurance alert.

I'll admit. I thought it was too good to be true until I got my first presurance alert and then when that big truck smacked into me I wasn't caught off guard at all. Thank you presurance. Esurance is all about doing things in a more modern way. With presurance the future will literally be in the palm of your ha. Ahead. [ MUSIC ] Presurance is not a real product and anything claiming to predict the future is a dirty liar. Presurance is not available in any state, even an agitated one. Never touch Presurance. If you think babies are cute, avoid Presurance at all costs. If your Presurance experience lasts more than four hours consult a doctor.

Presurance isn't recommended for premature adolescents and teens. Do not use Presurance near an open flame. Never stare directly at Presurance, it's vision is based on movement. Do not look in the mirror and say Presurance three times. Presurance, Presurance, Presurance. [ MUSIC ] You have four presurance alerts.
