I wonder what "AI updates" are going to mean from an insurance point of view. Don't know about the US, but some countries in Europe insure the driver and not the car (eg. Ireland). How far fetched is for insurers to argue that an autonomous car software update constitutes a change of driver and demand that the updates must first be validated from them before installing?
- edf13 9y agoIt's a good point. Here in the UK I am insured to drive vehicle A as specified on my insurance documents. If I modify that vehicle my insurance policy is void and I need to inform the insurance co. and probably pay a premium. In your scenario the same could be true on a software update.

What's going to happen I think is that insurance companies will probably need to vet the updates before allowing you to install them, much like android phone vendors. Running un-authorized updates will void your policy.
