Autonomous vehicles (AVs) will significantly disrupt the motor insurance industry by reducing accident frequency but increasing claim severity due to high repair costs. The shift to shared autonomous mobility and changing vehicle ownership patterns will further challenge insurers, requiring strategic adaptation to maintain profitability amid evolving risks and lower premium volumes.
