Allstate is proposing to consolidate key brands and partner with Waymo to hedge risks in the changing auto insurance market. The consolidation of Esurance, Squaretrade, and other brands under the Allstate name would improve efficiency and allow cross-selling. Partnering with Waymo to provide "backseat insurance" for passengers in autonomous vehicles addresses declining personal auto premiums. This strategy aims to enhance the customer experience while positioning Allstate for emerging mobility trends.
