Driverless Cars

The session will cover the Government backed consortia, look at the ongoing government consultation and how it 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 Thatcham and the ABI ADIG (Autonomous Driving Group). It will also look at the potential impact on insurance risks and products in a future of connected and 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 and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) a reality for the UK

• an understanding of some of the Government backed consortia and why insurers are involved in these

• possible impacts of CAVs 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
