Meeting society’s needs in a world of autonomous vehicles

Autonomous Vehicles Initiative

The development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) comes with significant public policy questions and challenges — concerning everything from mobility and roadway safety to regulation and liability. Our Insuring Autonomy initiative outlines how auto insurance will lead through changing risks and offers recommendations for critical insurance-related components of AV regulation.

It’s important that the insurance industry play a central role in policymaking discussions to develop a legal and regulatory framework for AVs. Ensuring a clear risk transfer mechanism will help facilitate AV development and the improved safety we expect they will bring to our roads.
