[quote=AN]Vast majority is not good enough. Not when they suppose to replace human driving but won’t take on the liability. If a person have an accident, then at least one of those drivers involved are at fault and their insurance goes up. Who’s at fault when the computer make mistake? This is not assisted driving, this is autonomous driving. Which means it has to take into account all situation and be able to react as well or better than a human who’s paying attention.[/quote]
I think the owner of the autonomous vehicle would be the one to bear the cost. I don’t see any new laws where autonomous cars will be able to forgo getting insurance. Auto insurance is required by law in most states. The insurance companies might have a hard time pricing insurance initially but once they have the stats it wouldn’t surprise me if autonomous car insurance is less than human driver insurance. That will ensure the takeover happens even faster.
