Are taxi companies currently allowed to self-insure?
I would bet current insurance companies are more likely to fight any legal distinction between traditional and self-driving cars as it would require a change to their (lucrative) business model.
- kkowalczyk 14y agoSure, but how hard would it be for Google to create a wholly-owned subsidiary that is an insurance company, which only happens to insure Google? Patent troll Intellectual Ventures reportedly created hundreds of shell companies. Amazon creates tens of subsidiaries (e.g. Kindle is technically created by lab126, owned by Amazon but a separate company) etc. Whatever the legal roadblocks insurance companies might try to throw, I don't see how they can stop new insurance companies from being created and that's a simple loophole against any anti-self-insurance laws.
