Have auto insurers to die? ..or to become irrelevant?
It is not their inevitable destiny; it is only a choice.
Auto insurers can be proactive, take the bull by the horns, stay relevant and become frequent in the life of their customer

What are analysts telling you daily?
75% of the cars on the road will
be autonomous by 2035
70% of the cars on the road will
be driverless by 2040
Switch from personal auto
insurance to product liability
Driverless world
ADAS will reduce 45% of
accidents by 2020
Total claims costs will fall by
50% in 15 years
80% of the traditional auto
insurance business will
disappear by 2040
Fading premiums
The new normal will be to pay
a fee for the car usage
End of the car ownership
Mobility as a service

Premiums will fade
Claim cost
reduction will
be influenced by
many other
elements not
only by car
safety tech
• Safer cars may not make safer drivers because they can
adjust habits (higher distraction)
• Safer cars don’t guarantee less accident because
increment of miles driven may offset lower risk per mile
• Higher severity can partially offset the frequency
reduction
The end (if any) of auto insurance is really far
but you will have to deal with more pressure on your cost structure

How will the insurance of the mobility as a service look?
A fleet policy
• Corporate policy
insuring all the vehicles
Low premium
• High retention of risk
by the fleet manager
(e.g. high deductibles)
• Insurance seen only as
cost to minimize
Invisible
• No relation with the
final customer
• No opportunity to
cross sell

• This Insurance think tank has aggregated more
than 50 international insurance groups,
institutions and tech firms between Europe and
North America
• The initiative has three concrete outcomes:
‒ The most pragmatic multiclient research
specialized in the insurance IoT domain
‒ One-to-one workshops dedicated to each
member to discuss research outcomes
‒ Plenary symposiums with all the members
together around the same table

I believe (some) insurers will succeed in the connected car war
and they will stay relevant in the life of their clients
Each of you can be one of these successful insurers!
They will orchestrate their own connected
insurance platform using data to create value
and will share this value with the customer to
deliver superior value propositions
They will maximize the value creation
using the same date to activate many
different use cases on the entire
insurance value chain
