[GI] Lunchtime Seminar - Driverless Cars

Mercure Leicester The The Grand Hotel
Wednesday, 06 December 2017
12:15 pm – 1:45 pm (UK time)
    • David Williams, Axa Insurance

Description

The talk will cover off the Government backed consortia working on this subject. It will look at the ongoing government consultation, how this may impact the regulatory timetable and the wider implications of European restrictions / opportunities. Data will be a key area going forward and we will look at the issues in that regard, together with the wider work carried out by the ADIG (Automated Driving Insurance Group), formed by Thatcham Research and the ABI. It will also look at the potential impact on insurance risks and products in a future of connected & autonomous vehicles, and speculate as to how quickly we will see these vehicles on UK roads. There will be a brief overview of the implications for the commercial vehicle space (it’s not just cars!) and particularly the UK haulage industry.

Learning objectives: At the end of this event, the delegate will be able to identify:

  • Details of the governments work with regard to making connected & autonomous vehicles (CAV's) a reality for the UK
  • Gain an understanding of some of the Government backed consortia and why insurers are involved in these
  • Discuss possible impacts of CAV's on the current insurance market, including changes to Motor and Public/Products Liability
  • How the UK Insurance industry is responding and the workings of the ABI ADIG
  • Possible Timelines for the various stages of Driver assistance systems moving through to fully autonomous driving
