THE DRIVE TO AUTOMATION
August 6, 2:00-3:30 p.m.
Registration for this webinar is now closed.
The IIHS and HLDI have been publishing studies on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for over 10 years. This presentation will begin with an overview of how ADAS is affecting safety in the real world, and then focus on the most recent research on vehicles with Level 2 automation systems, and include a reality check on the common notion that automation is guaranteed to eliminate crashes typically caused by human error.
SPEED, WEED AND DISTRACTION
August 21, 2:00-3:30 p.m.
Increasing speed limits, faster cars, access to legalized marijuana and a nationwide obsession with handheld electronic devices have all had a negative impact on highway safety and automobile insurance. This presentation will include information about the scope of each of these problems and the size of their impact on safety and insurance.
COVID-19 AND TRAFFIC SAFETY PUZZLE OF 2020
August 28, 2:00-3:30 p.m.
From the earliest days of the quarantine the news was full of stories about changes in transportation. Stories focused on reduced miles traveled and increased travel speeds. Loss results from the earliest months of the quarantine are beginning to solidify. However, much is still unknown. Who was driving? Where were people driving? When were they driving? Were there changes in the enforcement of traffic laws? This presentation will focus on the research questions that need to be answer in order to analyze and fully understand the impact of the virus on highway safety and auto insurance. The presentation will frame prior research related to those critical research questions in the context of 2020.
