InsurTech 2017: Hype vs. impact - Oxbow Partners

With Brexit underway and Trump in the White House, 2016 was not a good year for forecasters. We will try to buck the trend by predicting which areas of InsurTech will have an impact in 2017. Futurologists have predicted mass adoption of self-driving, or autonomous, vehicles since cars were first invented. We are finally a lot closer to this vision; for example Google and Uber are running trials on public roads. The consensus view is that consumer-ready autonomous vehicles are 3 years away and ubiquity is another 10-15 years down the road (pun intended).
