Insurance protects the driver from liability due to their own error. Self-Driving cars don't have a driver. Why should the passanger have to pay? That's dumb.

Are the manufacturers going to cover insurance premiums for millions of cars?

That's where I see the roadblocks. All the legislation that has to change. Like I said, I no longer doubt the tech. I'm just curious how it's going to all work.

If it takes all the scared drivers who don't have a clue what they're doing off of the roads then I'm all for it. This is going to make the roads even better for people like me who will hold on to my human-driven cars as long as they let me.

Polak all your points are out weighted by ther prospect of safer road handies.
