10 Major Changes in the Auto Insurance Industry in 2016

LOS ANGELES, June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Carinsurancehints.com presents top 10 major changes in the auto insurance industry that have taken place last year, in a new blog post.

2016 has been a year of big changes in the auto insurance industry. The rise of autonomous driving vehicles, the increased investment in insuretech and an increase in car accident fatalities have affected the industry to an extended degree.

The newly released article presents some of the most notable incidents and changes in 2016, which saw the first fatality caused by an autonomous driving vehicle. The involved model was a Tesla Model S on autopilot. The driver dies when the vehicle crashed into a tractor-trailer.  

Traffic fatalities have gone up

"Traffic fatalities come up as high as 10%. Data presented by NHTSA show that traffic deaths were up 10.4% in the first half of 2016 over the same time period in 2015. As a result, the NHTSA and NSC announced a new Road to Zero coalition that aims to decrease and eliminate all traffic fatalities."

Higher traffic fatalities can increase auto insurance prices as the roads become unsafe for all the motorists.

Advances in technology and new programs

Telematics auto insurance has become a popular policy, especially among millennials. This plan allows the agency to collect data about clients' traffic behavior and determine prices in real-time. Ride sharing programs have also exploded through services like Uber and Lyft.
