According to Forbes, Google, Mercedes, and Volvo are self-insuring their autonomous vehicles—their software is driving the car, after all. That same Forbes article suggests that insurance companies could cope with the loss of business from much safer, computer-driven vehicles by offering real-time insurance, sensing whether a driver is trying to operate a self-driving vehicle while intoxicated and raising their insurance rate for that ride only, for example.

You will never ever violate another traffic law and have lots of time to take in the advertising.
Life is like a box of chocol- make that an engine compartment. You never know where the tubes go or how to rout a belt 'less you read the diagram on the underside of the hood. Do it right the 2nd time. So when all else fails, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Be good do good feel good live good.

Not in my time, but if law(s) mandate no more human driving, it will be a sad day.

Do remember, the computer will decide your future; if computer-program "thinks" other lives could be saved rather than yours, you're history.
