Allianz Worldwide Partners insures EasyMile's autonomous vehicles

Allianz Worldwide Partners and EasyMile have signed an International Framework Agreement to  establish insurance solutions for EasyMile’s shared driverless transportation projects as of January 1, 2017. Since the start of the worldwide cooperation, first projects have already been launched in Germany, Norway and the United States.

Allianz Worldwide Partners offers third-party liability and motor own damage insurance cover for EasyMile’s EZ10 driverless electric vehicles. The EZ10 provides shared driverless and fully electric transportation for the first and last mile. For example transporting people from their houses to the nearest public transport hub. Or smart mobility within confined sites. It can transport up to 12 passengers.

In-depth exchanges between Allianz’s Automotive Innovation Center and EasyMile’s expert team aim to gain real life self-driving experiences, to enhance technological progress and to incorporate the insurance perspective.
