04 Nov 15
3:30 PM - 4:30 PM

Tracks: Technology/Vehicle Systems

The popular press would have you believe that we will all be driving in autonomous vehicles in five years and that collisions will decrease because of new sensors and safety technology. Are auto insurers and auto repairers dinosaurs awaiting extinction? Kim Hazelbaker will lead a fast-paced session that tracks how automobile safety features have improved over the years, what new safety technologies are working and not working, and what the effect will be on collisions.

Attendees will learn:

  • What new safety technologies are actually working in the real world and what are not.
  • The most likely path forward to a day of autonomous vehicles.
  • The implications for auto repair and auto insurance industries.
