Insurance Transformed

Abstract

Naylor examines the likely impact of the insurance transformation required by each sector of insurance. There is a particular focus on the looming transformation of automobile insurance as this is seen as the first sector to be transformed. There is then a discussion on other insurance sectors, including Life and Health. The chapter argues that while health insurance may transform slower than automobile, its eventual transformation will be nearly as substantial.

Notes

  1. 1.

    US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data show that as of 2016, semi-autonomous cars had a 60% lower crash rate than fully manual cars.

  2. 2.

    Note that the Aug 2016 crash of a Tesla car did not involve an autonomous car, but a car with advanced cruise control capacity, which required constant human supervision.
