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.

Not this. It’s limited to specific scenarios on specific roads. So you’re going to need a licensed driver.

Eventually with actually full self driving? I’d hope so, though it’s going to take legislation first.

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

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.

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.
