so some of the push to get autonomous vehicles out there appears to have support from the automotive insurance business.
this seems odd, in the long run for this kind of obvious reason.
driverless cars reduce the risk of accidents. when all vehicles are driverless, the risk (of accident, or "taking&driving away" theft) is zero. so why would you want or need insurance?
of course, there's the other thing - why would _you_ want a car either? the goal will be to maximise the use of all vehicles so you'll just call up one via uber-uber-zip-zip
oh, and poor taxi drivers - bad enough to get ubered- but this will make them complete toast.
maybe a few chauffeur limo businesses will remain as "bespoke handicraft" signs of conspicuous consumption?
