The Impact of Black Box and Driverless Vehicle Technologies

During this course, explore what are Electronic Data Recorders (EDR’s), or “Black Boxes”, how do they work, and what do they record.

Black Boxes do not only collect information regarding a drivers’ driving style, but it is also used in the process of re-creating the sequence of events leading up to and following a collision, therefore, playing a huge role in the claims process. Black Box evidence can provide great leverage and strategy on a claim because it ultimately tells you what really happened.

Did you know a vehicle Black box is the ‘brain’ behind autonomous (driverless) vehicle functions?

This technology will inevitably change the insurance industry, so what are the trends that we are seeing (or expect to see) and how can we evolve in order to address these changes. We will also explore various topics within this field that are still in the works and being debated, such as cyber security issues, exposure to other parties/insurers, and more.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
– Differentiate events that lead up to the development of black boxes vs ones that do not.
– Describe how black boxes contribute to the claims process
– Define “driverless technology”.
– Recognize the areas in insurance that will be affected by driverless cars.
