Emerging Technologies

While the focus has been on cars, an autonomous truck is now licensed to operate on U.S. roads -- another way to reduce accidents.

Even if fully self-driving cars don't arrive for 10 to 15 years, could robots replace people as drivers in the interim?

Virtual reality has moved beyond gaming and should take on significant insurance roles through simulations, training, advertising and more.

While many await the driverless car, the future of safety is already here, through assisted driving. Insurers and regulators must act.

Not long ago, the rate of adoption of emerging technologies and of innovation that we saw this year would have been unthinkable.

The number of start-ups has seen a step change, though only from "almost none" to "a trickle." Many more are on the horizon.

It's getting harder to find a large enough, representative sample for consumer research. Gamification may be the answer.

Uber et al. face complicated liability and insurance issues that go well beyond whether their drivers are officially employees.
