General Insurance Article - Two thirds of Brits uncomfortable with driverless cars

 Further issues arise when it comes to the risk of a collision with a driverless vehicle. Of the drivers polled in our survey, 56 per cent said that they would worry that if they had to make a claim against a driverless car, they would automatically be classed as ‘at fault’ by insurers.

 Technology can be a great thing if harnessed successfully, but I worry that the advent of driverless cars is going to be fraught with more complex issues. The general public look less than enamoured with the advent of driverless cars, and it’s time for the authorities to address the concerns by being clear on the answers to the moral and ethical dilemmas brought up by implementing driverless cars on the roads, especially when it comes to the aspects of safety and policies following an accident. After all, with research showing that self-driving cars could save 2,500 lives in the UK between now and 2030, the sooner these technicalities are addressed, the better.
