Analysts at Goldman Sachs foresee a significant transformation in the transportation sector, predicting that by 2030, the US market for shared autonomous vehicle rides will balloon to $7 billion. This burgeoning market holds the potential to revolutionize the $400 billion insurance industry by substantially reducing accident rates. The analysts emphasize that autonomous driving technology will reshape the landscape of insurance claims costs and the assignment of legal liability. Specifically, they anticipate a decline in insurance costs from $0.50 per mile in 2025 to $0.23 per mile by 2040. Furthermore, the insurance market for autonomous taxis is projected to reach a value of $1 billion to $1.5 billion, with some major corporations potentially opting for self-insurance. Firms like Uber, Lyft, and Alphabet are positioned to benefit substantially from this emerging trend.
