Automated Vehicles

Autonomous Vehicles

“With the increasing adoption of semi-autonomous vehicles and the potential for fully autonomous vehicles, several policy-related questions and challenges are beginning to emerge. It’s important that the insurance industry play a central role in policymaking discussions to develop a uniform legal and regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles. Ensuring that a clear risk transfer mechanism is in place will help facilitate the development of autonomous vehicles and the improved safety we expect they will bring to our roads.”

Will regulatory and liability frameworks keep up in a world mixed with old and new roadway technologies? Attendees explored these questions and more about the changing risks of the road.
