    If your insurance determined that an autonomous vehicle will cause less damage over time than a human driver, they will do that, yes.

      Autonomous logic doesn’t pay insurance, does it?

      If so, who TF is paying the insurance behind the scenes, and who is responsible?

        If so, who TF is paying the insurance behind the scenes

        The owner of the vehicle is probably very openly paying.

          Here’s a question- if you have to agree to terms of service for the vehicle to function, and I’m guessing you would, is it really your vehicle?

          We’re talking about autonomous vehicles here, no driver, company owned.

          So is Alphabet responsible?

          Do your homework, these vehicles are owned by the parent company of Google and Apple, Alphabet. These vehicles have no private owner. So again, who TF is responsible?
