Those cars cost well over $100k each. The demographic buying that doesn’t care about $2500.

They’re also accepting full liability if anything happens while using this feature so it’s actually a type of insurance

I wonder how much cheaper it will make auto insurance. I also wonder if this will open transportation options those who have lost a license.

I kinda like that system because eventually people will put their own OSes on the car, which the manufacturer obviously can’t cover. Having separate insurance/service eliminates having to pay for it if you’re accepting the liability yourself.

Ok, then I’ll do it if I don’t have to pay for other insurance on the car.

The conditions for the system to work are such that if you could find a policy to cover only those conditions, it’d probably just be like a couple dollars a month. Even behaving “badly” you would be unlikely to have an accident and even if you caused an accident, it’s probably just going to be a couple thousand in property damage with no medical implication.

Have you seen Tesla’s price for full self driving? And they don’t take liability

I think you can afford that if you own an EQS
