Technology and Marine Insurance: Are you ready?
Four engaging experts focusing on key areas affecting transportation
THE TRUTH ABOUT DRONES
How drones are changing the insurance industry. From surveys to claims and more!
Speaker: Marcus J. Dickinson, CEO X4 Drones Inc.
+/-
This presentation will address the following:
- The truth about drones and how they are vital to the insurance industry;
- Why we should be onboard with insuring them;
- The details and pitfalls to look out for;
- Understanding Transport Canada regulations; and
- Getting over our fear of the unknown.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES: NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL
Discussion on autonomous vehicles and the impact they will have on the Logistics industry
Speaker: Paul Godsmark, CTO Canadian Automated Vehicles Centre of Excellence (CAVCOE)
+/-
Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), often known as driverless cars, are undergoing rapid development and will be with us much sooner than most of us realize. This presentation will review the current state of technology development, the compelling business cases driving investment in this sector, the likely deployment scenarios and the subsequent impacts on our lives and work. The benefits and opportunities that AVs provide will be immense, but similarly there are major challenges and the downsides could be huge unless we seek to mitigate them as much as possible. AVs will be so much more than just ‘cars’ and have the potential to transform society as much as the internet has done, we therefore need to review our business and operational models as they will be impacted, if not disrupted.
This presentation will also focus on how small/local AV deliveries might impact on larger logistics, and how additive manufacturing (3D printing) could change the nature of how and where things are made – thus impacting on how goods and materials transportation might change in the future.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES: DEVELOPMENT AND THE POTENTIAL IMPACT UPON REGULATION AND LICENSING
How could the introduction of autonomous vehicles impact regulations and insurance coverage?
Speaker: Rory Barnable, Barnable Law P.C.
+/-
This presentation will address the potential changes that autonomous vehicles will necessitate for current transportation liability regimes, principally focusing on automotive and marine transport. We will discuss the legislative and insurance regimes various jurisdictions are implementing for autonomous vehicles, and drawing parallels from other methods of risk allocation, forecast potential changes that may accompany the increasing prevalence of this technology.
THE NEED FOR CYBER SECURITY IN THE TRANSPORT ECO-SYSTEM
Impact of cyber attacks on modes of transportation covered by a Marine insurance policy
Speaker: Clinton D’Souza, Manager, Canadian Operations, Starr Insurance
+/-
Lloyd’s Risk Index 2013 Global CXO survey cites cyber security risks as one of the top three priorities on boardroom agendas - failure to identify vulnerabilities and validate the effectiveness of security controls could compromise both the business and entire transport network.
Our increasing dependence on technology and web-based communication has opened the door for cybersecurity threat. With the growing number and sophistication of cyber attacks, the protection of our transportation infrastructure is more important than ever.
It is critically important to secure every aspect of the transportation infrastructure and ensure that it remains open, operational, and—above all—safe for the billions of people who depend on it.
