Motor Trade Insurance Questions

 

What will driverless cars do to trade insurance regulations?

What will driverless cars do to trade insurance regulations?

Will insurance premiums decrease with driverless cars being the norm? Is it too early to ask? Autopilot. Planes have had the technology for decades, mainly because there is nothing to obstruct a plane at 35,000 feet but other planes which are carefully navigated by humans in airport control centres. Cars on the other hand have firstly the road to contend with, the ability to read road markings, pay attention to traffic lights and then there's the problem of humans, pesky two legged creatures that run in front of moving vehicles, walk along pavements and have the audacity not to keep up with technology and have cars that they drive themselves - don't they know that's dangerous!?!

Driverless Cars And The Law

Unbeknown to a lot of people autonomous cars have been on our roads, well mainly in America, driving themselves for a few years now. People have died. Can anyone understand who can drive who cannot drive with the rules and regulations and minimum requirements for motor trade insurance relating to uninsured cars. Precedents have already been set. Take for instance the Tesla car driver who switched on Autopilot, drove under a truck and hurtled off the side of the road. Was technology to blame or the driver? Courts found that it was human error because the driver should have seen the truck and had seven seconds to react. Seven seconds. This tech is at an early stage, humans should not be so self reliant on a system and should understand they have to be aware all the time. Another incident where a person walked in front of another driverless car was proved to be human error, this time the fault of the human who walked in front of the car.

As of now, no car or Tesla big rig can be on British or American highways without first gaining permission for routes or without having a human driver present to react, even if the trucks or cars are in convoy. This is a testing period which if we go by American law, will take ten years initially. That said, it is legal to purchase a semi Autonomous Tesla car or whichever manufacturer comes next and press AutoPilot so insurance policies are changing to reflect this new development. They have to.

The UK government via a variety of Bills in the House of Commons have progressed to a point where they have agreed that courts should deliberate in the aftermath of an accident or fault, that insurance companies are to pay out in the event their party is at fault. Which party is that? Car companies can be directly to blame for an accident as it is, in the main, their software and programming that is assuming responsibility for driver, its own tech reporting and maintenance and that of everyone else and everything else around that machine. While in the two incidents mentioned human error was to blame, manufacturers will certainly bear the brunt of financial compensation on a much larger scale in the medium to long term.

What Does Driverless Car Insurance Cover?


Humans live in an age where nothing truly spectacular has occurred for a few decades. Computers were an incredible concept that stopped Hitler, saw man walk on the moon but little else for fifty years, the internet also a forty year old invention so it's about time computers were more relied upon to make human life easier. After all if traffic lights can be automated, why not cars? At the same time it is humans that are a cause of concern with autonomous driving technology.

Which is why any new driverless car insurance has to include advanced legal speak to cover the inherent dangers that humans pose to autonomous technology. Humans, it appears, are the enemy. While you will still be able to attain third party, fire and theft and comprehensive insurance in the normal manner, deep rooted technical faults within software are set to be the new version of parts replacement, while mechanical parts will still need repair it's mostly lines of computer code that will be argued about in court, alongside that of human error.

What Aspects Will Be Included In Driverless Car Insurance?


Hacks or attempted hacks that cause a car to be destroyed or damaged due to inefficiencies in the software and operating system. Not even Microsoft can be sued for Malware. Cover for failed updates and patches sent by a manufacturer that fail to complete or install correctly that leaves your car without firewall and insecure, without correct mapping and navigation systems and pays out within 24 hours or offers a replacement vehicle until fixed. Any sat nav system in the car reliant on satellite configuration and is disabled by interference of manufacturer breakdown.

Cover against any failing of software or authorised in-car software supplied by the manufacturer.

Pertaining to manual override, claims to arise from inability to control a vehicle manually after computer or software breakdown where a human cannot control the vehicle when required to avoid loss or damage to the vehicle.

How Can Car Insurance Premiums Decrease and what will be the new rules and regulations for motor trade insurance?

Humans like to believe that robotics can ensure lower costs, though the truth is far from reality. Yes there will be cost savings. It has already been proven that AutoPilot on Tesla cars have reduced accidents. This means an insurer would have less money to pay out and premiums should fall. However as tech evolves and will be cutting edge, there will be an expense for parts replacement, and labour costs may be much higher due to the level of expertise and knowledge required by mechanics to fix problems. Even though this may be completed remotely by plugging into the internet or by satellite update, rather than visiting your local motor garage.

It has been calculated that hundreds of billions of pounds can be saved, but this figure could be halved as the expense of costly parts replacement, labour and large vehicle recalls could still be a foreseeable costs. With this in mind who can drive , can anyone drive with these rules and regulations in place and understanding and explaining the minimum requirements is a problem. One line of code that incorrectly causes an accident rather than prevents would be an enormous task to resolve. It is conceivable that autonomous car insurance premiums could be less or that human driver car insurance could become more expensive in comparison as more driverless car insurance is taken out in the coming decades
