Semi-autonomous driving is an emerging – though not unprecedented – technology which cannot necessarily be seen as safe and reliably accident-free. Insurance companies thus play an important role as influential stakeholders in the negotiation and implementation processes around this new technology. They can either push the technology (e.g. by offering beneficial, promotional insurance models for semi-autonomous car owners) or constrain it (e.g. by providing restrictive insurance models or no insurance cover at all). Insurers face questions concerning ethical or societal consequences on various levels: not only when it comes to promoting the technology – whose impact is not yet certain and may range from saving to endangering lives – but also with respect to insurance models such as “pay as you drive”, which may involve discriminatory elements. The concept of responsible research and innovation (RRI) is well suited to accompanying and guiding insurers, policy makers and other stakeholders in this field through a responsible negotiation process that may prove beneficial for everyone. Part of the RRI approach is to make stakeholders aware of “soft” factors such as the ethical, societal or historical factors which influence innovation and of the need to include these aspects in their activities responsibly.

強制汽車責任保險自1998年1月1日實施至今，立法精神及施行成效深受社會大眾肯定。隨著社會安全制度的持續發展，持續進行全盤檢討，並於2005年2月5日公布新修正強制汽車責任保險法，3月1日正式實施。 由於強制汽車責任保險風險分類直接反應於費率計算，資訊不對稱容易形成道德風險，被保險人與保險人產生顯著資訊落差，保險人無法合理歸類被保險人風險特性，保費計算上易受外界雜訊所影響，產生嚴重道德風險。為降低資訊不對稱的成本增加，保險輔助人成為被保險人與保險人間資訊傳遞的重要中介機構。如何健全保險輔助機構的執業規範及分工定位，以降低資訊不對稱所造成之負面影響，成為強制汽車責任保險的重要監理議題。 本研究主要檢視現行強制汽車責任保險制度，如何有效規範保險輔助人，強化保險作業與交通監理作業降低資訊不對稱成本，討論具體措施諸如設立保費查詢中心、確保理賠損失資料之正確性、各項財務資訊揭露透明度與落實保險人之差異化管理政策，並歸納具體建議如下： 一、 建立強制汽車責任保險專屬網站，強化資訊揭露； 二、 交通監理作業投保查詢應整合保險查詢，減少代理成本； 三、 落實保險人內部稽核，建立承保及理賠標準流程； 四、 建立保險輔助人評等制度，維護市場公平競爭； 五、 車種分類及費率精算宜朝簡化為原則，避免道德風險。 / The Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance Law has been enforced since January 1, 1998, the spirit of the law and the goodwill lay behind it were highly praised by the general public. However, as the social security system continuously has developed and evolved, the law was deemed insufficient and inadequate. Therefore, experts and scholars proceeded to review the law and finally in February 5, 2005, a revision of the law was announced to the public and officially enforced in 1st March the same year. Since the risk classification of Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance directly reflects on rate calculation, information asymmetries can easily cause moral hazard. As the insured and insurers have significant information gap, insurers cannot categorize reasonably the characteristics of insured's risks, the premium calculation therefore can be affected by external noises that leads to serious moral hazard. To reduce the cost of information asymmetry, insurance brokers or agents becomes the insured and insurers' important intermediary for transmitting information. How to build sound operating norms, share the work, position insurance brokers or agents and reduce the negative impact on information asymmetry have turned out to be very important supervisory topics of Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance. This study is mainly examining the existing Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance system; regulating insurance brokers or agents effectively; strengthening insurance and traffic supervision operations to decrease the cost for information asymmetry; discussing specific measures such as the establishment of premium check center so as to ensure the accuracy of claim information, the transparency of financial information; in addition, implementing the differentiation management strategies of the insurers. The specific recommendations are summarized as following five points: 1. Establish official website for Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance and strengthen the disclosed information; 2. The insurance check in traffic supervisory operations shall be integrated with premium check center so that agency costs can be lowered; 3. Put into effect the insurers' internal audit to build up the standard of processes of underwriting and claims; 4. Establish the rating system for insurance brokers or agents so as to maintain fair market competitions; 5. Simplify the classification of type of vehicles and rate calculation to avoid moral hazard.

The topic of the submitted diploma thesis is the directors and officers liability insurance of members of a joint stock company bodies and its aim is to analyze this insurance product and to evaluate possibilities of its use in domestic conditions. This theme is topical because of the recent financial crisis as well as with regard to the recodification of the Czech private law which resulted in demanding more requirements on members of a joint stock company bodies during performance of their office and most importantly the danger of guaranty for obligations of company in accordance with the provision § 68 of the law on commercial corporations constitutes a really big threat for members of a joint stock company bodies. In order to understand the dangers from which the insurance should protect, first of all the first chapter is dedicated to basic characteristics of joint stock company and mainly to duties of members of a joint stock company bodies which are divided into two groups in this thesis - fiduciary duties (duty of due care, duty of loyalty, duty of secrecy, prohibition of competition, duty of personal performance of office) and so called "technical" duties. In the next chapter there is briefly examined the legislation of liability and compensation for damage where these issues are consulted...
