The Casualty Actuarial Society, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) are pleased to offer Crash Course on Vehicle Technology and Driverless Cars, August 10-11, 2022. This limited attendance seminar features several general sessions, demonstrations of the latest safety-related technology in vehicles, tours, and a live crash test at the IIHS-HLDI state-of-the-art crash test facility.
Please note: IIHS-HLDI requires all attendees to be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations in order to attend the Crash Course Seminar. This means that you must have received two doses of an mRNA vaccine or one dose of the J&J vaccine plus one additional booster vaccine after five months since your last primary dose. The CAS and IIHS-HLDI thank you for following these health and safety protocols to ensure everyone feels safe at our meetings and facilities.
Casualty Actuarial Society’s Envisioned Future (from the CAS Strategic Plan)
The CAS will be recognized globally as the premier organization in advancing the practice and application of casualty actuarial science and educating professionals in general insurance, including property-casualty and similar risk exposure.
Continuing Education Credits
The CAS Continuing Education Policy applies to all ACAS and FCAS members who provide actuarial services. Actuarial services are defined in the CAS Code of Professional Conduct as “professional services provided to a Principal by an individual acting in the capacity of an actuary. Such services include the rendering of advice, recommendations, findings or opinions based upon actuarial considerations.”
Members who are or could be subject to the continuing education requirements of a national actuarial organization can meet the requirements of the CAS Continuing Education Policy by satisfying the continuing education requirements established by a national actuarial organization recognized by the Policy.
This activity may qualify attendees of Crash Course for up to 14.2 CE credits for CAS members. Participants should claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. CAS members earn 1 CE credit per 50 minutes of educational session time, not to include breaks or lunch.
**Note: The amount of CE credit that can be earned for participating in this activity must be assessed by the individual attendee. It also may be different for individuals who are subject to the requirements of organizations other than the American Academy of Actuaries.

Transportation Between Omni Charlottesville Hotel and IIHS
The CAS has arranged for charter buses to transport event attendees from Omni Charlottesville Hotel to IIHS in the morning, and from IIHS back to the hotel at the conclusion of the event each day. There will not be continuous shuttle service, rather a bus running to IIHS in the morning, and a bus returning attendees to the hotel on Wednesday evening and also on Thursday afternoon. Shuttle bus times will be conveyed to event attendees and neither CAS nor IIHS will be responsible for individual transportation costs should an attendee miss the bus.
Important Information Regarding Official Crash Course in Vehicle Technology and Driverless Cars Hotel
The Omni Charlottesville Hotel is the only hotel that the Casualty Actuarial Society will run complimentary buses to and from the IIHS conference facility in conjunction with this event. If you choose to stay at another hotel, the CAS will not provide transportation from that property to IIHS.

- Jessica Cicchino, Vice President IIHS Research
- David Aylor, Vice President, Active Safety
Description:
During this second IIHS-HLDI session researchers will focus on driving automation. The session will begin with a discussion about the impact of these technologies on insurance losses. Presenters will share human factors research that explores how drivers are using these systems in the real world. Surveys of the public appetite for partial automation and driver monitoring will also be discussed. Panelists will share the Institutes work to define, evaluate, and rate the safeguards implemented for the use of partial automation systems. The session will close with projections for the prevalence of ADAS and driving automation systems.
Evaluating Liability Risks in the Age of Automation
Presenter: Mike Nelson, Founder Quantiv Risk, Inc.
Description:
We’ve hardly made a dent in our understanding of Level 2 automobiles, leaving insurers with difficultly in assessing liability of automobile accidents when driving tasks are managed by the vehicle. As fleets continue to electrify, automate, and connect over the next several decades, the human-vehicle dynamic will become more complex; a human driver’s recollection of how an accident occurred will be futile as humans become increasingly detached from the driving experience. Auto manufacturers have only just begun to embrace a future where they become more accountable for accidents, while continuing to assign the driver as the ultimate safety manager. Our session will examine how liability laws will be impacted, what technology will become available to fully understand automobile risk more objectively, and how government agencies will impact this dynamic environment.
Breakfast & Roundtable Discussions on Ethics & Limitations of Current Engineering
Description:
This session will be divided up into multiple tables, whereby half will feature discussions pertaining to Ethics and the other half Limitations of Current Engineering.
Industry Panel Discussion
Presenters:
- Michelle Santos, Travelers, VP and Data Scientist, PI Product & Pricing
- Raul Retian, ISO, Senior Director of Personal Line Product
- Stef Zacchera, FCAS, The Hartford, Data Analytics Vice President
Description:
A panel discussion on ownership of data and the Vehicle Ownership Model.
Safety Management in the Development and Deployment of L4 Automated Driver
Presenter: Chris Mullen, Senior Director, Organizational Safety at Aurora
Description:
Aurora is working to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safety, quickly, and broadly. This requires that safety and risk be managed at the organizational, operational and product levels with dedicated policies, processes and frameworks that apply best practices from multiple safety-critical industries. Chris Mullen will provide an overview of Aurora's approach to the safe development and deployment of the Aurora Driver.
Weed, Speed and Electric Vehicles
Presenter: Matt Moore, Senior Vice President, IIHS-HLDI
Description:
This presentation will feature a deep dive into some of the key societal and technological changes that are impacting highway safety and auto insurance. Marijuana has been legal for recreational use for about a decade. Speed limits continue to increase and at the same time the horsepower in new vehicles is reaching unprecedented levels. Sales of electric vehicles are growing rapidly and these vehicles bring with them a host of new changes and challenges. This presentation will explore the impact of these changes on insurance losses and safety outcomes.
