Yes. If self-driving cars significantly reduce accidents, insurance companies can use it as incentive to lower rates. The rates for cars that can only be driven manually might even skyrocket.
- crusso 14y agoJust imagine once drivers of autonomous vehicles take manual drivers to court for causing fatal accidents "that could have been avoided by using a cheaply available autonomous vehicle". The word "negligence" will be thrown around. Some law suits will succeed in some states. Insurance rates for manual driving will rocket skyward, making buying that new autonomous car or kit for your current car cheaper than buying the insurance for 2 years.
