Yeah, I couldn't imagine it working any other way. If self-driving cars really do end up having better safety records than manually-operated cars, that'll be reflected in insurance rates. As the rates for those driving self-driving cars decrease, the rates for those driving manual cars will increase to make up the difference. At some point, we'll see a flip as people look to the insurance savings of self-driving cars. I'm guessing we'll see a slow build-up to 20-30 per cent self-driving, then a rapid jump to 60-70.
