Autonomous fleets & depots

Companies running robotic depots and pitstops that service EV and AV fleets, and teleop operations that remotely supervise autonomous vehicles.

Why it needs cover

The exposure

A depot that charges, swaps parts on, or resets an autonomous vehicle without a person present carries the same liability as a service bay, plus the risk that the vehicle drives off into traffic with a fault the depot missed. Teleop adds a remote-operator layer no standard auto form contemplates.

What we place

Coverages this class usually needs

CGL with affirmative AI grantRequired (contract)

Third-party injury/property damage from depot and teleop operationsBase liability for autonomous servicing and remote supervision

Products & completed operationsRequired (contract)

Claims from a depot's service work surfacing after the vehicle leavesA missed fault at the depot follows the vehicle back onto the road

Tech E&O / professionalOften (contract)

Errors in the teleop or fleet-management softwareRemote supervision is a professional-services layer of its own

Equipment (inland marine)Often

Physical damage to depot hardwareCharging, lift, and diagnostic equipment on site

What it costs

National benchmark premiums

Rated on: Vehicles serviced and depot throughput

Full program

Quoted per program; driven by deployed fleet size, contracts, and limits.

Pricing figures are Risklytics program design targets, not published cost-guide data or quotes. Only construction & field robotics and warehouse & logistics robotics carry dollar figures, because Risklytics has built and priced real programs against them; every other class uses a qualitative pricing statement until a program is priced. Your premium depends on fleet size, contract structure, limits, deductible, and loss history.

When it goes E&S

Where this risk gets hard to place

No admitted class code exists for unmanned depot servicing or teleop supervision of autonomous vehicles, so this places E&S from day one.
