Adapting Insurance Business Models To Assisted Driving 2016

1. Why do you think it is important to attend
the upcoming Driverless Technologies
Insurance 2016 summit on March 17,
2016?
The subject of vehicle technology is on most
people’s agenda. If anyone is considering investing
in driverless technology, at any level, they should
know what they are investing in. Fleet managers
need to understand the changes they may need
to make in communications with their drivers and
their drivers’ expectations need to be managed.
This will be available at the conference.
In your opinion, how far are we in
achieving fully autonomous vehicles?
We are a long way away from fully autonomous
vehicles. The technology to manage vehicles
has been around for some time, so some of
this is not new. The current vehicle technology
is quite complex already, so much more
understanding and communication is required to
move this forward.
In your opinion, at what stage does personal
liability turn into product liability in the
context of autonomous vehicles?
A good question and one I feel that the courts
may well decide upon. If there has been human
interaction and a third party is injured, it may stay
with the motor policy, but if it is designed to be
autonomous, it could be different.
What is your opinion on how driverless
technologies will impact auto insurance
business models?
This will depend on the question above to
some extent. It is currently the vehicle that is
insured, usually with named drivers or with
permission of the policy holder, so even if the
driver is not operating the vehicle fully, the
vehicle is still a vehicle.
Which session are you looking forward
to the most within the Driverless
Technologies Insurance 2016 summit?
The one I am chairing!!
