![]() Toronto, Ontario - With autonomous vehicle (AV) initiatives in Ontario going from a sci-fi pipe dream to receiving millions in government investment dollars in only a few years, Vice President of personal insurance at Travelers Insurance, Caleb Earnest declared that “The world of AVs is clearly upon us”, during a webinar on Tuesday.Īs part of a panel discussion led by Travelers executive v-p of public policy Joan Woodward, Earnest delved into the current state of autonomous driving in Canada, from the insurer’s perspective, and explored the ways in which insurance firms and government must interact to ensure the safest possible deployment of fully-autonomous vehicles in Canada.Įarnest said that government and industry must meet in order to build AV-compatible infrastructure on top of pre-existing Ontario road systems, as AVs will make up an increasing portion of vehicles on the road, but will still need to co-operate with traditional user-operated vehicles for the foreseeable future.Īs well, the potential for AVs to streamline the collision repair process was also addressed, allowing for vehicle data to reduce guesswork from estimating and parts sourcing. ![]()
