Autonomous vehicle company Locomation announced it entered into a new strategic partnership agreement with Chicago-based professional services firm Aon to develop a risk management plan for autonomous trucking.

According to Locomation, the completed plan will allow the Pittsburgh-based AV company to then work with insurance carriers to assess risks in autonomous technology and to better align with insurance industry best practices…

Locomation also hopes that having such a plan will reduce its customers’ operating costs via lower insurance rates for carriers, shippers, truck manufacturers and others using its autonomous truck technology.
