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. Travelers is advancing dialogue with thought leaders on the issue and proposing solutions. The Travelers Institute® position paper, Insuring Autonomy: How auto insurance will lead through changing risks, outlines Travelers’ view of how insurance will meet society’s needs in an AV world.

Driving innovation isn’t new to Travelers. From the first automobile policy we issued more than a century ago, we’ve been enabling innovation in transportation ever since. And now we’re helping to enable a future with autonomous vehicles as well.

– Caleb Earnest, Vice President, Personal Insurance, Travelers Canada

  

Position Paper:

1) Overview: The AV world today and tomorrow

2) Auto insurance can - and will - meet society's needs in an AV world

3) Critical insurance-related components for AV regulation
