WHEN ALGORITHMS TAKE THE WHEEL
The rollout of Tesla robotaxis quietly navigating Austin might seem unremarkable in an increasingly technology driven world, yet they represent something profound for the insurance industry. When algorithms replace human drivers, who pays when things go wrong?
This question sits at the heart of our story this month examining Tesla’ s self-driving taxi trial. Meanwhile, Mastercard and OCTO are tackling risk from another angle entirely – turning telematics data into loyalty rewards that could actually make drivers safer.
What connects these stories isn’ t just technology, but timing. After decades of pricing risk through demographic guesswork and postaccident hindsight, insurers finally have the tools to understand what’ s actually happening on the road.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy the issue.
