Insurance and safety implications of changes in the U.S. vehicle fleet

The U.S. vehicle fleet has undergone radical transformations over the last 30 years. Vehicles are more crashworthy than ever and increasingly are equipped with technologies to prevent crashes. However, they are also more powerful, pricey and complex to repair. Additionally, as consumer tastes have changed, the types of vehicles in the vehicle fleet have evolved. Electric vehicles and other alternatives to naturally aspirated gas engines are also increasing in popularity. Join Patrick Sullivan of Auto Insurance Report and Matt Moore of IIHS-HLDI for a discussion about the changing vehicle fleet and its impact on safety and insurance outcomes.

Raising the safety bar: crashworthiness, crash avoidance and driver behavior

Vehicles have never been safer — thanks in part to IIHS-HLDI crashworthiness and crash avoidance testing — but the road tells a different story. Traffic fatalities have surged 30% in the past decade, driven by dangerous behaviors like speeding, impaired driving and failing to buckle up.

This webinar will explore strategies to promote safer driver behavior, review how IIHS ratings have evolved over time, and share new initiatives aimed at raising the safety bar even higher.

Join us to learn how we can turn the tide and make our roads safer for everyone
