This document outlines eight elements that will drive the mass adoption of driverless vehicles: the convergence of technology, the rise of new manufacturers, infrastructure needs, regulatory considerations, data management, mobility services, legal responsibility, and consumer adoption. It also discusses who may be early adopters, risks and products, liability and costs, and provides a timeline showing introduction now through 2017, then partial driver substitution from 2020-2025, and fully autonomous vehicles becoming the new normal by 2040 through continuous improvement. The document poses questions about this emerging technology and its transformation of transportation.

Future of autonomous vehicles initial perspective - 8 october 2018Future Agenda
Future of Autonomous Vehicles
With so much investment and tech development underway, many are asking where, how and when will we see self-driving cars, buses and trucks on the streets in earnest? A host of companies, cities and countries are competing and collaborating to move things forward – but is could be a decade or so before there is mass market traction. In addition, what about seaborne AV as well as drones, air-taxis and, maybe, pilotless planes?
Ahead of the launch of a detailed initial perspective in Shanghai in November this is a summary of 30 of the key issues that experts have already raised. As part of a major global open foresight programme we will be running 15 events around the world in the first half of 2019 exploring these and additional issues – building an informed, global view for all.
We have many key locations already defined, but if you are interested in hosting or co-hosting one of these events, do let us know and we can include as we work on the overall schedule. As with all our projects (e.g. www.futureofpatientdata.org) we will share all insights from each location and publish a global synthesis.

Autonomous Vehicles: Technologies, Economics, and OpportunitiesJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of autonomous vehicles are improving rapidly. LIDAR, other sensors, ICs, and wireless are experiencing rapid improvements that are enabling the overall cost of AVs to fall. For example, the latency of wireless systems is improving rapidly thus enabling vehicles to be controlled with wireless systems. This is also creating many new opportunities in the vehicle industry in the Internet of Things, data analytics, and logistics. The slides include a detailed discussion of AVs in Singapore, a likely early adopter.

Driverless Vehicles - Elements, Liability, Risk and Opportunity
Driverless Vehicles (Front Page)Elements, Liability, Risk and Opportunity
So the future is here, and driverless cars are finally a reality on the roads of Britain. From cruise control to full-blown autopilot, many of our cars now come with driver-assisting technology as standard, and we can expect to see a gradual shift to fully driverless in the coming years – but how do we get there and what does it mean for insurance?
There are 6 levels of vehicle autonomy that fall in to 2 categories;
Driver Monitored
Level 0: No Automation The driver (human) controls it all
Level 1: Driver Assistance The driver (human) with cruise control and anti-lock brakes.
Level 2: Partial Automation assisted steering, acceleration and braking.
System Monitored
Level 3: Conditional Automation Drivers are still necessary, but are able to completely shift "safety-critical functions" to the vehicle.
Level 4: High Automation. Periodic human control may be required
Level 5: Full Automation Fully automated with no controls for Human intervention. This level provides the potential for the car to operate and reach its destination without a human present inside the vehicle.
The 8 Elements of Mass Change (Slide 2)
As we switch to driverless cars? There are 8 elements that will work together in parallel to establish and grow mass change.
Convergence of Technology
Continue to strengthen
creating mass connectivity
Enhanced data capabilities
Rise of new leading car manufacturers
Watch the creators of autonomous vehicle technology begin to lead the market in vehicle production, we can expect to see Google, Tesla, Apple lead the way.
Traditional manufacturers may struggle to compete at the same pace at the tech giants.
Infrastructure
Whilst driverless cars can use the current infrastructure, we can expect to see this enhanced overtime to become a smart infrastructure with added functionality for the vehicles
We will see the creation of communication between road and vehicles
Providing richer data
Highways will accommodate more cars possibly up to a 500% increase
Regulatory Considerations
There will need to be radical changes in regulations to accommodate the switch
Use cases over time will feed the continuous change
With Data Collection & Management
We will be able to see who did what, where, when and how fast;
See growth of advanced telematics;
And See Enhanced fraud detection.
Mobility Services
low cost and convenience, which are the core benefits of Car sharing will be enhanced
Legal Responsibility
As the vehicle will be making the decisions, the risk profile will change, we’ll talk more about this.
Consumer Adoption
Once consumers understand the tangible benefits like Multitasking while driving, Safer travel, Faster commutes, adoption will gain momentum.
And Each driver will bring a unique data rich value proposition for insurance products
Who might be the early adopters of driverless technology? (Slide 3)
Whilst we have a few wealthy private consumers adopting driverless cars, due to the current cost of technology, it is likely that the commercial sector will be the early adopters of driverless technology on a large scale?
Fast food delivery
With the removal of young moped drivers from the roads, these businesses could also be the benefactors of low insurance rates.
Taxis
It feels that this is the natural progression for Uber – they are already connected to IOT and are cashless business.
Large Fleets
Looking to minimise risk
Public Transportation
Buses
Enterprise Transportation
Risks & Products (Slide 4)
Risks
Increased and new Cyber Risks from an ever richer pool of data - hacking or attempted hacking of a cars operating system or other on-board software
Risk transfer from the driver
Interplay between different levels of technology on same road space introduces complexity and potential risk
Technical malfunction, software/hardware, power supply (low battery), network coverage Satellite failure or outages that affect your car’s navigation systems, which could also lead to much larger class actions.
More recently The United Nations has set up a task force to assess electromagnetic radiation levels in Driverless Vehicles, which could lead to passenger risk of Radiation Expose
Products
Telematics Policies – As connection to the IOT and the long distance communication increases
Product Liability Policies becoming a wider more detailed all-encompassing policy, replacing
A move away from traditional Personal Lines motor –There will likely be changes in the traditional motor policies to accommodate tech, make, model and style of car may assume a greater importance.
Life - Mortality tables will be impacted
New multiline policies which accommodate multiple products for the driverless journey
Product Placement
Vehicle user profiles will create commercial opportunities through which to direct new products
The industry may choose to create incentives for purchasing insurance products for autonomous vehicles, as opposed to traditional
Liability & Costs (Slide 5)
Accident liability currently rests with the drivers but with a move to driverless we will see manufacturers, system developers, car dealers, car maintenance firms or a combination be brought into deeper discussions on liability?
We can expect to see much liability discussion around how to cope with vehicles at different levels of automation, as we would expect liability and costs will differ between levels.
Data from vehicles will be recorded and used to improve safety and clarify liability
There may be potential premium penalisation for drivers who chose not to go driverless as they may be increasingly measured against the technology.
Motor Insurance claim frequency could fall by up to 80%, ultimately leading to lower premiums and claims costs
Timeline & Benefits (Slide 6)
From now to 2040 can be broken in to 4 phases within which the 6 levels of automation can be seen progressing
Self-driving cars likely to lead to lower accident rate (2000 UK fatalities per year)
Wider demographic enabled to use cars (e.g. elderly, disabled, blind)
Fuel efficiency and emissions reduction
Urban impact – reduce congestion, rethink the demand for parking spaces
Safer roads for cyclists and other road users
Wider more sophisticated communication networks
More time for us to do other things
Lastly, we can expect driverless cars to dramatically reduce heated discussion around the validity of one’s navigational skills.
We have good cause to be optimistic.
None of the challenges that I have spoken about today are by any means insurmountable.
The insurers who are able to make use of the increasing volumes of data - building policies to recognise the shifts of risk - are likely to move ahead of their competitors and should find opportunities to make a profit in a competitive market.
