Summary · why it matters

Allianz Partners and Waymo have formed a collaboration to build insurance, claims and safety research solutions supporting Waymo's service expansion across Europe, with a phased commercial deployment planned starting in Germany and the possibility of extending to additional markets over time. The arrangement pairs Waymo's autonomous driving system, the Waymo Driver, with insurance, mobility assistance and vehicle safety research capabilities from Allianz Partners, Allianz Group's business-to-business-to-consumer insurance and assistance services arm, backed by other Allianz Group entities including the Allianz Center for Technology, Allianz Versicherungs, Allianz Commercial and Solvd Group. The partnership focuses on four priority areas: tailored insurance and risk management for Waymo's autonomous fleets, including motor fleet insurance and general liability multinational insurance programmes for product liability protection plus new insurance models for autonomous mobility platforms; digital claims handling through Solvd Group, Allianz Partners' digital claims management entity, intended to support streamlined end-to-end claims processing in future; joint research on autonomous vehicle safety, claims trends and risk modelling, with the Allianz Center for Technology contributing crash analysis and vehicle safety expertise and potential joint publications as operational data becomes available; and vehicle recovery, where the companies will examine additional areas for collaboration over time, including operational solutions designed for autonomous fleets. Allianz Partners CEO Tomas Kunzmann said Waymo's technology leadership combined with Allianz's global expertise in insurance, assistance and vehicle safety allows the companies to build a comprehensive ecosystem providing passengers peace of mind at every stage of the journey, while Waymo risk and insurance head Tilia Gode said the tie-up pairs Waymo's proven US safety record and commercial experience with world-class European risk and claims expertise. In July, Allianz agreed to buy Singapore life and health insurance business HSBC Life (Singapore) from HSBC Holdings for $2.09bn (S$2.7bn).
