The Road Ahead: How Insurers Can Adapt to Shifts in Self-Driving Tech

Overview

In January, the Biden administration finalized a rule banning new personal smart cars with Chinese and Russian technology from American roads. The rule also paves the way for the Trump administration to extend those restrictions to commercial vehicles. The transition away from Chinese and Russian technology in self-driving cars is a significant shift that could reshape the risk landscape. For insurers, this means not only re-evaluating traditional risk models but also being proactive in understanding emerging technologies and their implications.

In this episode of Between the Lines with Elizabeth Blosfield, experts will address these issues and share how insurers can manage any uncertainties associated with regulatory changes and continue to provide effective coverage.
