ABSTRACT
Convergence of technologies, demographic and sociological factors has created a new era of mobility. Electric vehicles, shared mobility, autonomous vehicles, smart cities and others are primary contributors to creating better access to mobility, greater asset utilization, infrastructure efficiency and more fundamentally, improved safety. As we get into an environment of mixed vehicle fleet, even before the industry reaches full autonomy, many tools can be leveraged to assist in safe driving - how does this impact the insurance industry? How does risk shift over time, with shifts in car ownership to sharing, from consumer to commercial lines of insurance and into new insurance products to enable autonomy and new forms of mobility? How is liability assigned in an autonomous world - between the vehicle owner, auto manufacturer, AI software company, telecommunications company, parts maker, government or others in the ecosystem? Join us for a panel discussion to share perspectives on how these shifts will play out, implications for the insurance industry and how all parties in the ecosystem can collaborate in the future world of mobility.

Robert Bauer - Head of Sharing Economy & Mobility Group at Marsh
Leads a team focused on enabling the future of mobility – scooters, e-bikes, ride-share, subscription, autonomy – and sharing economy by solving the most complicated risk and insurance challenges. Technology that matches supply with demand is shifting the landscape of risk quicker than regulation and risk-taking capital markets are able to follow. The line between commercial and consumer is blurred; new pricing models are being constructed with loss history that is just starting to take shape. Yet, the way we move, travel, live, and work is changing… now.
