With rapid technological advances in artificial intelligence and sensors, autonomous cars are gradually becoming a reality on our roads. But this revolution raises fundamental questions for the car insurance industry.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who-is-responsible-in-the-event-of-an-accident\"><\/span>Who is responsible in the event of an accident?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the biggest questions: when a self-driving car is involved in an accident, who is at fault? The owner? The manufacturer? The developer of the software? Regulators and insurers are currently working to answer these complex questions.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditionally, car insurance covers the risks associated with driver error. With autonomous cars, the risk shifts to the manufacturer and its technological systems. This means that insurance policies will need to evolve to reflect this new reality.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact-on-insurance-premiums\"><\/span>Impact on insurance premiums<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If autonomous vehicles significantly reduce accidents (preliminary data are promising), insurance premiums could fall significantly. According to studies, autonomous cars could reduce road claims by 80%. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, repairing autonomous systems can be more expensive than repairing traditional vehicles, which could offset some savings.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-evolution-of-the-insurance-market\"><\/span>The evolution of the insurance market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quebec insurers, such as Assur360, must adapt quickly to this transformation. This involves: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Developing new insurance products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update risk assessment templates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Train teams on autonomous technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaborate with automotive manufacturers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"678\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1356 \/ 678;\" width=\"1356\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assur360.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/video-assurance-vehicule-automobile-autonome.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion-Adapting-to-stay-competitive\"><\/span>Conclusion: Adapting to stay competitive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The future of self-driving cars is inevitable. Insurers that adapt quickly to this new landscape will be the winners of tomorrow.
