Probably a hit piece, but if we're to analyze the policy changes required here to mitigate/adjust for risk effectively (and which can be compelled by any insurance company with worthwhile risk adjusters):
- Insurance rate deltas for never-on v. ever-on "beta" automated driving features. This absorbs risk both for the insurance companies as well as on behalf of the driver.
- Visible and blatant notices by companies trialing self-driving features that such features may result in insurance rate adjustments if used as the features themselves pose not-yet-quantifiable risk.
- Mandatory reporting by car companies as to who enabled beta self driving features (accepted the risk) to send to insurance companies if needed e.g. in the event of a collision.
Don't know which of these would happen first, but frankly, insurance should be leading the way on appropriately derisking beta-testing self-driving features since it's... probably an inevitability that these will be tried by drivers on public roads.
