Handing over control? Automated vehicles and the future of motor insurance

The automotive sector is undergoing a radical transformation. Electric cars, autonomous vehicles and smart transportation are already changing the shape of mobility. This potential for transformative change creates huge opportunities for both new and existing players in the motor insurance world, but for a successful transition, vehicles must overcome a range of regulatory, safety, economic and customer challenges.
