I think the way car insurance works would change. In effect the manufacturer would be the one with insurance since the fault would lie with the car, not the driver. This insurance cost would then be passed on to the owner, possibly as part of the purchase price or else as a monthly/yearly payment. If the cars live up to expectations those premiums should be pretty low making it more feasible to just include it as part of the cost of the vehicle.
