Interesting thought. To be honest, once autonomous driving systems become so good they are provably and reliably better than humans, insurance companies will probably charge a premium for the privilege of driving your car yourself. I am just not sure when autopilots will become that good. OTOH, I did not expect to see self-driving cars arrive during my lifetime, and now it looks very strongly like I will. ;-) > Now, I have no clue on how to get politicians to understand science. Given the kind of political influence car manufactures have (at least here in Germany), I think that will not be too much of a problem once the demand is there.
