> High-severity accidents might drop, but the industry bleeds money on high-frequency, low-speed incidents (parking lots, neighborhood scrapes). Autonomy has diminishing returns here; it doesn't magically prevent the chaos of mixed-use environments.
This seems like it can be solved with a deductible.
- manwe150 11mo agoI think parent might be implying that a 10 mph collision can total a car just as effectively as a 100 mph collision. There might be more left of the occupants, but the car itself might be still a total loss from a cost-to-repair perspective
- lotsofpulp 11mo agoTrue, but another thought I would have is these modern cars should have sufficient sensors to be able to stop and avoid collisions at low speed.
