And watch for the release of the Institute's research report: Automated Vehicles: Implications for the Insurance Industry in Canada due to be published within the next two weeks!
Automated Vehicles: Implications for the Insurance Industry in Canada is the second in our series of annual Emerging Issues Research Reports that began last year with Cyber Risks: Implications for the Insurance Industry in Canada. With the great success and open dialogue that emerged as a result of the first report, we are excited about the conversations that this second report will generate on such a hot topic for the industry. Join us for the sessions above and receive a hard copy of the new report.
It's an important report that assesses the developments of automated vehicles on Canadian roads within the next 5-10 years, and raises many questions for the insurance industry:
• Will vehicles have on-board devices to identify whether or not the vehicle’s technology was engaged at the time of a collision?
• Will insurance companies be allowed to access this information?
• How will insurance companies recover costs when automakers are found to be at fault?
• How can property and casualty insurers reduce their risk of loss?
• How should costs be shared when driver errors and vehicle automation systems failure both contribute to a collision?
