The history and future of vehicle insurance

The history and future of vehicle insurance

Car insurance became compulsory in the UK close to a century ago, but it’s undergone many changes since then. New laws have been introduced, old ones have been altered, and the way uninsured vehicles are found has changed. In the near future, we’re likely to see even more changes as autonomous vehicles take to our roads.

In this article, we’re taking a quick look at some of the ways vehicle insurance has changed over the years, and at how it’s changing today.

What are the levels of driving automation?

What are the levels of driving automation?

What makes a vehicle autonomous? It’s not a straightforward question. If a car can drive itself in most situations, but a person needs to stay at the steering wheel in case there’s an emergency, is that an autonomous car?

To tackle this problem, SAE International, a global developer of engineering standards, created the ‘levels of driving automation’. This is a six-point scale to classify the autonomy level of vehicles, running from 0 to 5. We’re going to take an in-depth look at the six levels of vehicle autonomy, and at where we are now.
