Accenture report shows the way digitilisation and disruption impacts the insurance market and highlights other opportunities
Researchers are predicting that adoption of autonomous vehicles will begin in 2020. By 2050, Intel estimates, the global passenger economy will be worth $7 trillion.

An Accenture study predicts that cyber security, product liability and public infrastructure insurance for autonomous vehicles could reach $81 billion by 2025.
