growth of insurable exposures.

Auto/Light Truck Sales, 1999-2023F

New auto/light truck sales fell to the lowest level since the

late 1960s. Forecast for 2014-15 is still below 1999-2007 average of 17 million units,

but a robust recovery is well underway.

Job growth and improved credit market conditions

boosted auto sales to near record levels in

recent years

Truck, SUV purchases remain strong but have slumped a bit

Yearly car/light truck sales are slowing slightly, as demand tapers following the recovery from the recession. PP Auto premium might

grow by 3.5% - 5%.

Sales have returned to pre-

crisis levels

Exposure, Surety, Commercial Auto; Potent Driver of Workers Comp Exposure

New home starts plunged 72% from 2005-2009; A net

annual decline of 1.49 million units, lowest since records began

Job growth, low inventories of existing homes, still-low mortgage

The First Human to Be Killed by an Autonomous Vehicle…And It Appears the Human Was at Fault…Maybe On the night of March

18, 2018 in Tempe, AZ, 49-year old Elaine

Herzberg was struck and killed by a self-driving Uber vehicle

while crossing the road pushing a bicycle. She

is believed to be the first human to be killed

by an autonomous vehicle.

Claims Quandary?Tempe Police Chief Sylvia Moir: “I suspect preliminarily it appears

that the Uber would likely not be at fault in this accident.” But then Moir added: “I won’t rule out the potential to file charges against

the [backup driver] in the Uber vehicle.”
