California Legislation – Senate Bill 1298
As soon as practicable, but no later than Jan. 1, 2015, DMV must adopt
regulations setting forth requirements for:
• Manufacturers’ testing of autonomous vehicles on public roadways
• Operation of autonomous vehicles on public roadways
• Public workshops and meetings
• Nissan • Volvo • VW Group
• Chrysler • GM • Toyota
• Honda • Google • Bosch
• Autonomous vehicle technology advancing quickly
• Adoption by the public will not be dependent on technology
– Human factors (HMI)
• Potential traffic safety improvements are immense
– Over 30,000 traffic fatalities per year
– Almost all (95 percent) of traffic fatalities were the result of human error
– In over 35 percent of traffic fatalities, the brakes were not applied
• Government and industry need to work collaboratively
Definition of Autonomous
NHTSA defines 4 levels of autonomous vehicles
• Level 0 – No automation
• Level 1 – Function specific automation
• Level 2 – Combined function automation
• Level 3 – Limited self-driving automation
• Level 4 – Full self-driving automation
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has similar definitions, although 5 levels
• Philosophical differences
• Driver is essential to vehicle operations
• Design systems to maintain situational awareness
• Adequate notification time
• Human is the backup system
• Vehicle operations fully autonomous
• No need for steering or braking controls
• Redundancy and fail-safe built into system
• Technological differences
– Self-contained processing
– Map dependency and cloud computing
– Vehicle to vehicle communication (v2v)
• NHTSA decision on DSRC capability
– Vehicle to infrastructure communication (v2i)
• Other forms of autonomous vehicles
• Platooning • Low speed shuttles
• NHTSA Level 2 autonomous vehicles available now now _
– 2014 Mercedes S class
– 2014 BMW i3, 5-Series
– 2014 Cadillac XTS
• NHTSA Level 3 autonomous vehicles being tested now
– Private test tracks
– Human reaction testing
– Situational awareness
• No industry agreement on NHTSA Level 4 timetable
– Dependence on DSRC?
– Self-parking
• Volvo
No fatalities in a Volvo vehicle by the year 2020
– Collision avoidance systems
– Commercial trucking industry
– Road train or platooning
– Gothenburg, Sweden
• Nissan
• Autonomous car will be available for sale before 2020
• Price will be $1,000 - $2,000 above current prices
• Audi A-7 demo at the 2013 CES
• Volvo

Issues Raised by
Autonomous Cars
Patrick B. Woods, FCAS, MAAA Assistant Vice President & Actuary, Personal
Automobile Actuarial
ISO Insurance Programs and Analytic Services
• Cost of technology and infrastructure
• Interaction with existing vehicles on road
• Legal environment for autonomous cars and licensing
• Who owns data
• Safety and Security
Environmental Issues
• Liability based on your actions
• How you manage conditions
• How attentive you are
• How you maintain your vehicle
• Proximate cause of accidents
• Other drivers actions
Liability Insurance Today
• Driver, driver characteristics and attributes
• Driving record —accidents and violations/UBI
• Where does driver drive/garage car
• What kind of vehicle
Rating/Underwriting the Risk Today
• Are AV’s safe—how do we know?
• Liability—driver, manufacturer, software provider?
• Given a liability scenario--rate the policy
• Hacking risk/ software updates
• Cost of technology/ the driving environment
New Problems and Issues
• How do you test the vehicle to be sure it is safe?
• Number of accident free miles
• Testing the software
Are These Things Safe?
• Tort or No-fault
• Product liability system
• Rules of product liability are exacting
• Alternative liability systems
• Vaccine liability treatment
The Liability Issue—Who Pays?
• Who or what is being insured
• Full time/part time autonomous system
• How good is the software/hardware
• The driver and his driving experience
• The vehicle itself
Rating the Risk
• Hacking/software updates
• Cost of technology
• Who owns data
• Mixture of vehicle on the road
• Anticipated frequency
